A look at football history

Football itself has a long and fascinating story that goes far back. A remarkable point is the casual game, which is known in England in the 12th century as a "Shrovetide Football". Here a large ball is thrown into the crowd, with only a few rules being observed. Two teams that may have any number of players play over several kilometers, including local watercourses.

Another forerunner of modern football can be found in the 16th century Italy with "Calcio Storico", which is still being played in Florence today. Un-regulated folk football games in England lost importance in the 19th century, but remained the subject of folklore events, such as the Shrovetide Football. Also in British elite schools, football -like games became popular, which paved the way for modern football culture.

The development of modern football

In 1863, eleven football clubs met in London and founded the Football Association (FA), which set the first uniform rules for the game. These rules contributed to the fact that football became popular and quickly spread throughout the continent. Highlights such as the introduction of the "Fa Cup" in 1871 and the first official international match between Scotland and England in 1872 testify to the unstoppable development of sport.

In Germany, football was initially skeptical and rejected as a "unexch" before it was introduced by Konrad Koch in 1874 and popular. The German Football Association (DFB) was founded in 1900, and the first German championship took place in 1903. All of these developments underpin the timeless joy and Tradition that Millions of fans bring together worldwide.

The connection of personalities such as Thomas Müller and the historical dimension of football create a unique experience for fans and players. Müller's farewell is therefore viewed not only as the end of an era, but also as part of an ongoing tradition in football.
