(Caju)
The first game known to have required players to kick a ball with their feet was cuju, played in China in the the 2nd century BC. It involved kicking a leather ball through a hole in a piece of silk cloth strung between two 30 foot (10 meter) poles. Related games were later popular in other Asian counties.
