  • From Custom to Code. a Sociological Interpretation of the Making of Association Football
    From Custom to Code From Custom to Code A Sociological Interpretation of the Making of Association Football Dominik Döllinger Dissertation presented at Uppsala University to be publicly examined in Humanistiska teatern, Engelska parken, Uppsala, Tuesday, 7 September 2021 at 13:15 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The examination will be conducted in English. Faculty examiner: Associate Professor Patrick McGovern (London School of Economics). Abstract Döllinger, D. 2021. From Custom to Code. A Sociological Interpretation of the Making of Association Football. 167 pp. Uppsala: Department of Sociology, Uppsala University. ISBN 978-91-506-2879-1. The present study is a sociological interpretation of the emergence of modern football between 1733 and 1864. It focuses on the decades leading up to the foundation of the Football Association in 1863 and observes how folk football gradually develops into a new form which expresses itself in written codes, clubs and associations. In order to uncover this transformation, I have collected and analyzed local and national newspaper reports about football playing which had been published between 1733 and 1864. I find that folk football customs, despite their great local variety, deserve a more thorough sociological interpretation, as they were highly emotional acts of collective self-affirmation and protest. At the same time, the data shows that folk and early association football were indeed distinct insofar as the latter explicitly opposed the evocation of passions, antagonistic tensions and collective effervescence which had been at the heart of the folk version. Keywords: historical sociology, football, custom, culture, community Dominik Döllinger, Department of Sociology, Box 624, Uppsala University, SE-75126 Uppsala, Sweden.

  • The History of Football from FIFA.Com • the Origins • Britain, the Home Of
    The History of Football from FIFA.com • The Origins • Britain, the home of Football • Opposition to the game • The Global Growth The Origins The contemporary history of the world's favorite game spans more than 100 years. It all began in 1863 in England, when rugby football and association football branched off on their different courses and the Football Association in England was formed - becoming the sport's first governing body. Both codes stemmed from a common root and both have a long and intricately branched ancestral tree. A search down the centuries reveals at least half a dozen different games, varying to different degrees, and to which the historical development of football has been traced back. Whether this can be justified in some instances is disputable. Nevertheless, the fact remains that people have enjoyed kicking a ball about for thousands of years and there is absolutely no reason to consider it an aberration of the more 'natural' form of playing a ball with the hands. On the contrary, apart from the need to employ the legs and feet in tough tussles for the ball, often without any laws for protection, it was recognized right at the outset that the art of controlling the ball with the feet was not easy and, as such, required no small measure of skill. The very earliest form of the game for which there is scientific evidence was an exercise from a military manual dating back to the second and third centuries BC in China. This Han Dynasty forebear of football was called Tsu' Chu and it consisted of kicking a leather ball filled with feathers and hair through an opening, measuring only 30-40cm in width, into a small net fixed onto long bamboo canes.

  • FUTSAL BASIC PRINCIPLES MANUAL FUTSAL Training Manual
    FUTSAL BASIC PRINCIPLES MANUAL FUTSAL Training Manual History of Futsal The development of Salón Futbol or Futebol de Salão now called in many countries futsal can be traced back to 1930 in Montevideo, Uruguay, the same year the inaugural World Cup was held in the country. This early form of futbol Sala (futsal) was developed by Juan Carlos Ceriani to be played at YMCAs. Ceriani's game was designed for five players per team, and could be played indoors or outdoors. At around the same time, a similar form of football played on basketball courts was being developed in São Paulo, Brazil. These new forms of football were quickly adopted throughout South America. The Brazilian Confederation of Sport instituted its first official rules for futebol de salão in 1958. The international governing body FIFUSA (Federación Internacional de Fútbol de Salón, International Futsal Federation) was created in 1971 to administer the game, and held its first futsal world championship in São Paulo in 1982. Due to an apparent dispute with FIFA over the administration of fútbol, FIFUSA coined the word fut-sal in 1985, while the United States Futsal Federation coined the name "Futsal" the same year. FIFA soon began to administer its own indoor soccer games, creating its own version of the rules and hosting its first FIFA Indoor Soccer World Championship in 1989 in Rotterdam, Netherlands, in 1992 it was the FIFA Five-a-Side World Championship (Hong Kong) and since 1996 it has been called the FIFA Futsal World Championship (Guatemala). One of the most remarkable changes was the reduction of the ball weight and increase in ball size (from a handball size to a football size 4), which enabled faster play and, for the first time, scoring goals with the head (though this is still difficult and uncommon).

  • November N. 156
    NOVEMBER N. 156 EOC …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. We are all French, Russian, Turkish – this was the theme for the month of November across the whole world. The Olympic family of Europe offered its solidarity and sympathy with the victims of recent terror attacks across Europe during its annual General Assembly in Prague: a deeply European moment for all members of the EOC. At the beginning of November, EOC President Patrick Hickey faced numerous responsibilities as the end of 2015 loomed - a year which he has defined as “historic”. The biggest engagment for Patrick Hickey was the EOC General Assembly in Prague, where he welcomed the leaders of the Olympic Movement, including IOC President Thomas Bach, ANOC President Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al- Sabah, and IOC and EOC Honorary Presidents Jacques Rogge and Mario Pescante. Czech Olympic Committee President Jiří Kejval was also a prominent figure throughout the weekend and delegates were honoured by the presence of Milos Zeman, the President of the Czech Republic. Following the meetings in Prague, President Hickey went on to Monte Carlo for the 8th Peace and Sport International Forum, chaired by HSH Prince Albert II. Whilst there, the President of the EOC joined a panel of judges awarding this year’s distinctions, which were presented during the Grand Gala at the Monte Carlo Sporting Club. November 2015 was not a month to be forgotten easily. 4th Executive Committee meeting of 2015 - On the eve of the 44th EOC General Assembly, the Executive Committee met in the Czech capital to review the year’s activities. Czech Olympic Committee President Jiří Kejval and Secretary General Petr Graclik attended the opening, offering their European colleagues and President Patrick Hickey a warm welcome.
