It wasn't a football association per se that first came up with the rules for football. It was actually Cambridge University that first came up with the first set of rules (in 1848), and these rules were known as the Cambridge Rules

Answer
There are many forms of football the oldest of which Episkyros or Phaininda was played from the 4th Centaury BC in Ancient Greece. However, if you are specifically talking about Soccer, then I can state with absolute certainty that the man who drafted the 'Laws of the game' for 'Soccer' or 'Association football' was a man called Ebenezer Cobb Morley. Ebenezer along with other co-authors agreed the rules at a public house called the Freemasons Tavern in London on 26th October 1863. The rules were based on the earlier Cambridge Rules first drafted in 1848 which themselves were based on earlier attempts to standardise the different forms of football game which had been played in towns and villages in and around the British isles for hundreds of years. Morley became the Football Associations first secretary. He also founded the Barnes Football Club in 1862 which he captained against Richmond football club in the first ever soccer match. The game ended 0-0 but in a return game he scored the first ever goal. He died in 1924 and is buried at a Cemetery on Barnes Common not far from where he drafted the Laws of the game at 26 The Terrace, Barnes, London. A blue plaque commemorating his life's work was placed on the wall of this address by English Heritage in 2009

What is older football or soccer?
"if you are talking about AFL football then Afl is older then soccer The first game if soccer was played in 1872, November 30th The first game of football was played in 1858, August 7th" WRONG. The dates are right, officially, but the actual game of Association Football (Soccer) is far older, the OFFICIAL rules were made during this period; and although the first official game of American Football was played "first", American Football is actually a VARIATION of Association Football AND Rugby Football. So how can it be OLDER if it's based on Association Football? Foolish child.
