Name Origin
The term 'soccer' originated in England as a slang abbreviation of 'association football' in the late 19th century. It became popular in countries like the United States, Canada, and Australia, where other forms of football are also played, to distinguish the sport from American football, Canadian football, and Australian rules football.
