Football is the most loved , widely played and followed sport in the world . Even though it more popular in Europe and South America , it is said to have originated in China more than 2000 years ago . The game's popularity spread rapidly throughout the world in the 1800s . In the 19th Century , British sailors , traders , and soldiers took the game with them as they travelled and introduced it to the people they met along the way . This helped spread the game to the corners of the world where people learned the rules of the game . An association of people agreed on a set of laws , or rules , used for the game that would be universally applicable to all who played it . Children and adults alike began to play football and share their love of the sport . The game is also popular among non - competitive athletes because it is an effective form of exercise as a single player runs about 7 miles on an average during one game . The United States has almost 18 million football players , which is more than any other country . The sport is a favourite pastime of people in every country of the world . The FIFA World Cup is the biggest football tournament in the world that is held every four years . National teams from countries around the world battle to win the tournament and earn the title of best team . This makes it the most prestigious event and also the most widely followed sporting competition in the world
