Some came up with their own distinct codes of guidelines, most notably the Sheffield Football Club, formed by former public college pupils in 1857, which led to formation of a Sheffield FA in 1867. In 1862, John Charles Thring of Uppingham School also devised an influential algorithm.
This led to the formation of the English Ladies Football Association and play moved to rugby grounds. The most properly-documented early European team was founded by activist Nettie Honeyball in England in 1894. However, the ladies’s game was frowned upon by the British football associations, and continued without their support. It has been suggested that this was motivated by a perceived threat to the ‘masculinity’ of the sport. In many elements of the world football evokes nice passions and plays an necessary position within the life of individual fans, local communities, and even nations.
