Contemporary codes of football can be traced back to English public school football games during the nineteenth century.^[3]^[4] The expanse of the British Empire allowed these rules of football to spread to areas of British influence outside of the directly controlled Empire.^[5] By the end of the nineteenth century, distinct regional codes were already developing: Gaelic football, for example, deliberately incorporated the rules of local traditional football games in order to maintain their heritage.^[6] In 1888, The Football League was founded in England, becoming the first of many professional football competitions. During the twentieth century, several of the various kinds of football grew to become some of the most popular team sports in the world.^[7]
