As an interesting side note, there is a connection between Freemasonry and the history of soccer.

The first rules of soccer were elaborated by the new “Football Association” in 1863 in the FREEMASONS TAVERN in London, this building was owned by the Grand United Lodge of England (UGLE) and was adjacent to the Masons’ Hall; and it remains a lasting tribute to the founders of the Football Association.

In the past, the heated debate in those soccer circles focused on issues such as whether or not to allow your opponent to hack or kick your opponent in the leg, as well as whether you should allow the use of hands and feet anywhere on the field.

The pioneers of soccer gathered in the original masons’ pub for six nights in the fall of 1863 to undo the laws of a game that now plays approximately 250 million players in more than 200 countries around the world, making it the most popular sport in the world.

Today, the pub that occupies that historic place (called The Freemasons Arms) functions as a pilgrimage temple for football lovers, housing a large number of FA souvenirs and plaques commemorating that autumn of 1863.
