In order to solve this problem, some football associations in the UK began to communicate and negotiate, trying to formulate a set of universal rules and regulations to make the game more fair and orderly. In 1886, the five major football associations in the UK met in London and reached a unanimous decision to hand over the task of formulating a set of football rules to an organization called "the International Football Association Board". This organization, composed of four football associations in the UK, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, is still responsible for formulating global football rules to this day. In the process of formulating these rules, the number of players in football matches became an important issue. In football matches at that time, there was no clear regulation on the number of players on the field for the team, and the number of players in different regions varied greatly. In some cases, some games could have more than 20 people participating at the same time, making the game chaotic and difficult to manage.
By requiring each team to play 11 players, football matches became more precise and standardized, and easier to manage and referee. This made football matches more fair and orderly, reflecting the core values of football. Today, this regulation has become an indispensable part of football matches, providing a solid foundation and guarantee for the normal progress of football matches.
