Ancient China subsection of Early history has some possible prose/spelling improvements. Replace first two sentences with: "The Chinese competitive game cuju is an early example of a football game. It was possibly played around the Han dynasty and early Qin dynasty, based on an attestation in a military manual from around the second to third centuries BC." Third sentence typo "passsing" -> "passing" 104.232.119.107 (talk) 01:28, 9 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Adding women's team pictures to the article

edit
