How Walter Camp discovered the most famous sport called football<\/h2>\n

Football or gridiron football first originated in the 19th century at the North American universities. It was a combined idea that originated from the two English games: rugby and soccer. It all started on November 6, 1869.\u00a0 On this day, players from Princeton and Rutgers held the first inter-college match to play football. It looked like a soccer-style game played as per the London Football associations\u2019 rules.<\/p>\n

Though the sport got included in the college events, it couldn\u2019t get a distinct identity. Then, Walter Camp, known as the father of American football, brought a massive transition in the game.<\/p>\n

Walter Camp was a Yale graduate. He served as a captain of his football team. To the game\u2019s credit, he was the principal person in the Intercollegiate Football Association (IFA). He introduced new formats to the game, such as 11 player\u2019s team, demolished offensive signal-calling, use of scoring scale, etc.<\/p>\n

Due to his efforts, football has a grand fan following today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
