Of Football, Globalization and Cross-Culture, Between Reality and Fantasy in Qatar Episode |Biomedgrid

The origin of modern football is traced to the historical narrative of England more than 100 years ago, in 1863 [1]. Other sources suggest that it was first introduced in England as early as 1170 when youths were going to the fields for a ‘game of ball' [2]. Another source reveals that aspects of the game can even be traced back to as early as the second and third century BC in China [3]. Be that as it may, the objective at that early age, was to promote sport for healthy living and social and community integration. It was not imagined to be an instrument of cultural globalization. Globalization describes the interconnection of the world in terms of technology, goods, and other services. The world has been dependent on each other since ancient times. However, the wave of globalization in actual terms hit in the 19th century [4]. It has thus opened a new chapter in every facet of human life.
