Amazing football facts Part 8
First Ever International Football Match
The very first official, international, match of football, as recognised by FIFA, was played on the 30th of November 1872 between England and Scotland. The match was attended by 4,000 people and resulted in a draw with the final score of 0-0.
Soon we will have the 148th anniversary of the first-ever international football match.
Playing Two Matches In A Single Day
Believe it or not, Football was not always such a cash-rich sport which it today is. Today players generally get 4 to 5 days rest between two matches and when the schedule is tight they still get 2 days time to recover, both mentally and physically.
However, in the 90s when there was less money and players had to do whatever it took to keep the game running, Mark Hughes, a Manchester United’s player and a Welsh star had to feature in two football matches in a single day.
When he was signed by Bayern Munchen from Manchester United, Hughes had to play not only a match with his new team but also a match with his national team (Wales National Team) in a qualifier match that same day.
