Names for association football
The names of association football are the terms used to describe :association football, the sport most commonly referred to in the English-speaking world as "football" or "soccer".
==Background==
The rules of association football were codified in the United Kingdom by the Football Association in 1863, and the name ''association football'' was coined to distinguish the game from the other versions of football played at the time, such as rugby football. The word ''soccer'' is an abbreviation of ''association'' (from ''assoc.'') and first appeared in universities in the 1880s (sometimes using the variant spelling "socker").〔(Etymology Online "Soccer" )〕〔. 〕 The word is sometimes credited to Charles Wreford Brown, an Oxford University student said to have been fond of shortened forms such as ''brekkers'' for breakfast and ''rugger'' for rugby football (see Oxford -er). Clive Toye noted "A quirk of British culture is the permanent need to familiarise names by shortening them. ... Toye () 'They took the third, fourth and fifth letters of Association and called it SOCcer.'”〔Rogers, Martin. ("It’s football to you, soccer to me" ). Yahoo.com, 1 July 2010〕
The term ''association football'' has never been widely used, although in Britain some clubs in rugby football strongholds adopted the suffix ''Association Football Club'' (''A.F.C.'') to avoid confusion with the dominant sport in their area, and FIFA, the world governing body for the sport, is a French-language acronym of "Fédération Internationale de Football Association" – the International Federation of Association Football. "Soccer football" is used less often than it once was: the United States Soccer Federation was known as the United States Soccer Football Association from 1945 until 1974, when it adopted its current name and the Canadian Soccer Association was known as the Canadian Soccer Football Association from 1958 to 1971.
