THE FOUNDING OF MODERN FOOTBALL (SOCCER)_-_THE FREEMASONS' TAVERN
The modern version of the sport of football, or soccer, was founded at the first meeting in the Freemasons' Tavern of the Football Association (FA) on 26th October 1863. At this, and subsequent meetings, the rules of football were unified from the variety in operation at a range of public schools, universities and regions, to create the association football that is now played around the world, from national leagues such as the Premier League and FA; continental championships such as UEFA and the Champions League , and FIFA and the World Cup. The Freemasons' Tavern has now been replaced by the Grand Connaught Rooms, where a Blue Plaque commemorates this event.
