Origins of Soccer and History
Soccer's history dates back prior to the mid 1800s when an effort was made to standardize the rules of the game commonly played in varying forms on the playgrounds.  Early efforts eventually led to the formation of the Football Association in late 1863 to form the rules of the game with later organizations forming and revising rules after.

Soccer VS Football
The name "association football" was designated to distinguish the sport from other forms of football, in particular rugby football.  The term soccer is derived from the word 'association' and first appeared in the 1880s.  Football is the term used by FIFA and the Olympics although soccer is a commonly accepted name which is often used to differentiate the sport from other common football games in certain regions around the world.

Standard Laws of Soccer
FIFA (The Federation Internationale de Football Association) defines seventeen universal "Laws of the Game" which cover the following.  The Laws of the Game were last modified by FIFA February 26, 2005.  You may view the Laws of the Game on the FIFA website, located at FIFA.COM.
