When and where exactly soccer did originate has no answer. This is because there were many similar games played long ago which might resemble soccer but are totally not alike. All we really know is that a soccer-like game has been played for more than 3,000 years. But modern-day soccer was invented by England in 1815 where colleges set the rules for the game.
