1958 In July, when Dr. Havelange, the current president of FIFA, came to China, he said: Football originated in China.

The earliest football in the world was Cuju in China. The "bow" used is a round solid pill sewn with cooked leather and filled with wool or other things. In the Tang dynasty, cuju instruments were improved into balloons with ball skins and bladders. Compared with the Tang Dynasty, the manufacturing technology of the bow in the Song Dynasty was improved, and its weight was close to that of the ball used in football matches. In the Song Dynasty, a professional football organization, the Round Club, appeared. According to "Cuju Pu", many places in the Song Dynasty built round clubs, and a person can wander around after joining the round clubs, because they can be entertained after passing the assessment of the round clubs.
