Seen from the story of a football game or the dribble game into the net had been around the 2nd or 3rd century AD in China. At that time, the resident played it by kicking the ball which was made from bark that formed a small net. The game aimed to entertain the resident on the birthday celebration of an emperor or the other big day, but not only in Tiongkok evidently there was also a game like that in ancient Roman, ancient Egypt, and central of America who played with the rubber was formed like a ball.

At the beginning of 14th century, football game had been popular in Europe especially England. However, because of no rules, there was a lot of violence of football game. Therefore, King Edward III decided to prohibit that game. However, in 1815 football showed its progress and popular among the school and university, then modern football had been born in freemasons tavern in 1863 when schools and club became together who applied the main rules and distinguish between football with rugby using the hand. In 1904, FIFA or the highest association in the world had been established as a mother of football sport. Since the development of football game then held the countries match in the world in 1930. For the first time, the world cup held in Uruguay.

Generally football was played by 11 players in the football field and some spare players inside the team. In a football game there is a goalkeeper, midfielders, attackers, and some defensive players but in this game, only a goalkeeper is allowed to use his hand in his goal area. In official match or professional match there are 4 officers to lead the game, a referee who have role in directing and give indicates the match will start or end, he has also a role to give a warning and punishment if the player commits a foul. 2 line judges who observe the game if there is a foul, ball out or offside. Line judges usually carrying a yellow flag and moving follow the last defensive player. And then there is an officer who records the time is wasted or stalled during the match caused by a foul from the player or others and give an extra time in each round. He is also a link between manager team and referee team.

Until now football has improved a lot start from how to play, the professional team, and infrastructure like a field, training venue, and the other supporting places. There are also technologies to provide comfort match like VAR technology that can help referee to decide the things and heater field can melt the snow when winter is coming.
