Ebenezer Cobb Morley - 1863
Ebenezer Cobb Morley is often credited as the "father of modern football" for his pivotal role in establishing the rules of the game. In the mid-19th century, he sought to create a standardized set of rules for football to unify various regional variations of the game, which were often played under differing regulations. In 1863, he helped found the Football Association in England and drafted the Association's first rules, known as the "Laws of the Game," which laid the foundation for modern football. His efforts were motivated by a desire to formalize the sport and promote its growth and organization.
Cobb Morley is the 'Father of Soccer'. Actually, he was English so he is the 'Father of "Football"'. In that way, yes he is the founder of a sort. Of course soccer started way back to undated times when soccer had no real rules. But Cobb Morley is the founder of todays soccer. He decided that there should be organized rules that are the same for the whole world. So he did. So, Yes, Cobb Morley is the founder and father of soccer (football! ;-p)
The Lausanne Football and Cricket Club was founded in 1860. This was one of the first clubs to play football.
Football goes back to the middle ages and beyond but there was no agreed set of rules. The modern game was goes back to a meeting in London England when the rules were agreed and the Football Association formed. The laws of the game were written under the leadership of Ebenezer Cobb Morley.
