It was a sport practiced by civilians and military personnel that was used to train troops and check the physical condition of the soldiers of the Old Chinese Empire. It is known that it was played from the 3rd century BC.

What does CUJU mean?

CU = "Kick,"
JU = "a type of leather ball"

Cuju had its heyday during the Song dynasty, from 960 to 1279 AD. It was a sports discipline that aimed at recreation, improving mood, strengthening the body, helping digestion and fighting obesity. The fundamentals of "cuju" included respect for other players, there was no room for unsportsmanlike conduct. There are two forms of CUJU; a cuju version for fun (it was used to train and demonstrate skills) and cuju for competition (with goals and scores, what we now commonly call goals)

Entonces, ¿podemos decir que el fútbol se originó en China?

So can we say that soccer originated in China?

It is true that the Chinese had clubs, rules, and fans over a thousand years ago. But the various versions of cuju were far from being the modern football that was defined many years later.

What do you think? The origin of football is Chinese or would it be that our dear friend Joseph Blatter did not want to sell the idea?

Successes and blessings for everyone ...
