புரட்சி — 2000 Years of Football: From Ancient China to the FIFA World Cup | Jayasim Jayakumar
from The Jayasim Podcast · host Jayasim Jayakumar
Football is more than a game — it's a global emotion that connects billions of people across borders, languages, and cultures. But how did it all begin? In this Tamil documentary, we trace the incredible 2,000-year journey of football, from the ancient Chinese game of Cuju and medieval mob football in England, to the formation of the Football Association in 1863 and the rise of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). We explore the history of the FIFA World Cup from Uruguay 1930 to the expanded 48-team edition hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico in 2026, the story of the Jules Rimet Trophy, and legendary icons like Pelé and Diego Maradona. We also dive deep into Indian football — Mohun Bagan's historic 1911 victory, how India earned the title "Brazil of Asia" under coach Syed Abdul Rahim, and what it will take to bring Indian football back to glory.#jayasimjayakumar #jayasim #football #fifaworldcup #footballhistory #indianfootball #tamildocumentary #fifa #worldcup2026 #mohunbagan #sunilchhetri #tamil
