football
of Hatshepsut and Habu are enough to draw attention to the fact that the ancient Egyptians who excelled in medical sciences, embalming and engineering were not absent from their minds.
Sports games were used as a recreation in the festivals and seasonal celebrations in Pharaonic Egypt, including sports competitions between two individuals or two groups according to a sports system and law. In this context, the ancient Egyptians invented many of the games they presented as a gift to humanity.
Among the most prominent of these games is "football", as Pharaonic Egypt was competing with the countries of the Greeks and the Chinese for the honor of being the first to invent the most popular game in the world. From goatskin or straw skin, they kicked it with their feet, so if a team pushed it to a line the width of the playing field was a goal.
Ball games were famous in ancient Egypt as they are famous today. The ancient Egyptian was the first to invent ball games and recorded them on the walls of his tombs, more than 5,000 years ago in Saqqara and Bani Hassan, and many balls were already found in excavation sites, stuffed with fibers of palm trees and paper Papyrus or straw, covered with leather bound with cloth or thread.
The controversy over the proportions of football in 2004 was resolved in a book by the International Federation of Football "FIFA" published in 2004 on the occasion of its centenary, affirming that the oldest football in human history was in Pharaonic Egypt.
Football was not restricted to men, as Pharaonic drawings illustrated girls hitting a ball with their feet and passing it between them.
