Previously in 1996, England’s fan favorite song was written with the title “football is coming home”. This reflects the fact that England was the host of the 1996 European Cup, and the sport of football also originated in Queen Elizabeth.
As the birthplace of the sport of football, England gave birth to many famous football clubs and has a museum that chronicles the history of the game and the best players.
Explore the Origins of Football in England
We can trace its origins to the sport of football as we know it today, to be precise in the second half of the 1800s. That is when the various rules of the game try to put together.
One set of rules was enforced by the world’s oldest club, Sheffield FC, which was founded in 1857, but its implementation varies across the country.
This eventually led to the formation of the Football Association (FA), when a number of teams met at the Freemason Tavern in Covent Garden – now called the Freemason Arms – in 1863.
Over the course of six meetings, new rules were agreed upon, although not everyone agreed, as many clubs wanted to keep playing ball with their hands – so they chose to form the Rugby Football Union in 1871.
Several matches continued in England without the application of uniform rules, but with the formation of the International Football Association Board (IFAB) in 1886 by England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, the 17 basic rules for the game were established so that countries could more easily play one game. each other.
This was the period featured in the Netflix show “The English Game,” which illustrates the class divisions common in sports at the time.
Find Clubs from All Backgrounds
Initially, football clubs in England came from various backgrounds. In the south of England, teams are made up of college and public schools, such as Eton and Harrow, while in northern England, the players are from the working class, where many textile factories and companies have their own teams.
Behind the new rules for the game, 12 clubs from across Northern and Central England co-founded a football league in 1888, and the sport has grown steadily since then (now the Premier League).
Among these is Aston Villa, formed by members of the Villa Cross Wesleyan Chapel. Since 1897, the club has played its home games at Villa Park, a former Victorian amusement park developed on the former grounds of Aston Hall, a stately Jacobean home with a beautiful garden that has been around since the mid-17th century.

This historic site is not far from the current Villa Park stadium. Visitors who want to experience more of the region’s football heritage can also visit Molineux, home to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
As one of the founding clubs of the association, this interactive museum inside the stadium will take visitors back in time through the early years of modern football. Meanwhile, the stadium tour provides behind-the-scenes glimpses into unforgettable moments from the club’s history.
Discover Football Legacy in Manchester

Manchester United was formed by warehouse workers at the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway at Newton Heath in 1878.
After changing their name in 1902, the club moved to the Old Trafford stadium in 1910 and has remained there until today, except in the 1940s when war ravages forced them to share land with their rivals, Manchester City.
If you want to learn more about the heritage of the city’s famous football club, you can go to the museum and take a tour of the stadium.
Or, off the pitch, visitors can have their photo taken with the statue of United Trinity, which features Sir Bobby Charlton, George Best and Denis Law, three historical figures who made United the first English club to win the Cup/Champions League in 1968.
Football fans in Manchester can also visit Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium, or embark on an interactive journey at the National Football Museum, located in the striking Urbis building in the city centre.
Alongside penalty shootouts and other interactive games, your experience will be full of football memorabilia such as medals, replica trophies and jerseys from the club’s most important matches.

Liverpool is also home to a pair of clubs with a rich football heritage. Everton initially played their home games at Stanley Park before moving to Liverpool’s current home, Anfield.
There, disputes between the club committee and the pitch owners saw Everton move to Goodison Park in the late 19th century. However, this paved the way for the formation of Liverpool FC and created a great rivalry.
The two pitches (the distance between Anfield Stadium and Goodison Park) are only about a mile and Liverpool have played at Anfield since the club’s founding in 1892. A tour around Goodison Park allows fans to learn more about this blue part of the city.
Meanwhile, The Liverpool FC Story Museum will introduce you to the illustrious history of the Reds, with a stadium tour providing insight into Liverpool’s famous song, ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’.
Learn the Story Behind London’s Biggest Club
Arsenal was originally formed in 1886 under the name Dial Square, a team of workers from Royal Arsenal, an arms factory in Woolwich.
The club then moved to Highbury, North London, in 1913, where the club remained until finally moving to the Emirates stadium in 2006. You can take a tour of Emirates Stadium and dive into the club’s history and experience with a tour guided by former club player.
Later, another North London club, Tottenham Hotspur, was formed by a group of schoolchildren in the 1880s, and has played at White Hart Lane stadium since 1899.
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, built on the same site, opened in 2019 and is considered the most technologically advanced stadium in the world. The stadium has the Goal Line Bar, which is 65 meters high and is the longest bar in Europe!
After enjoying the stadium tour, those who love heights can gaze out over the capital at the Dare Skywalk and have the opportunity to climb up to the stadium as well as view the pitch from above.
