it has in many ways.
for example, the game itself has changed. Extra rules have been added and some rules have been reinforced. The kit they used have improved from normal cloth to professional sweat absorbing material.
you can also say the equipment has changed. like, the ball and the stud of the football boots. the fields are now in better condition and that the boots are now more comfortable and longer lasting without tears.
