The rules of association football were first published in 1863 with thirteen rules set out by a group of ex-public school men while sitting in their local pub in England. It set out details like the size of the goals, what is a free kick, the size of the pitch and alike. Once these were all set out, they were made the president across the world for people everywhere to play the same game.
