Why is football even called soccer when both are the same?

As a blogger, I've always been curious about why football is called soccer when both terms refer to the same sport. After some research, I discovered that the term "soccer" originated from the British abbreviation "assoc" for "association football." The term gained popularity in countries where another form of football, like American or Australian, already existed. However, the majority of the world still refers to the sport as football. It's fascinating how language and regional differences can create such confusion for such a globally loved sport!
