What is the origins of casual football?

Casual football, or pickup football, has been played in some form for many years and it is difficult to attribute its origins to any one person or group. The idea of playing informal, unstructured football games without fixed rules or teams is likely as old as the sport itself. However, there are some notable events in football history that have contributed to the development of casual football.

For example, in the late 19th century, football was becoming increasingly popular in the UK, and it was not uncommon for groups of young people to play informal games in public spaces such as parks and streets. This led to the development of street football, a form of casual football played on the streets and alleyways of cities and towns.

In the United States, casual football is often associated with "touch football," which is a non-contact version of the sport that can be played with smaller teams and on smaller fields. Touch football was popularized in the 1940s and 1950s as a way for young people to play football without the risk of injury associated with tackle football.

Today, casual football is played all over the world, with many variations of the game depending on the region and culture. While it is difficult to pinpoint a single person or group that started casual football, its popularity and longevity are a testament to its appeal as a fun and accessible way to enjoy the sport of football.
