Jerku has a long history of football, as a result of the sport being introduced by the foreign traders in the 19th century. Since the 1960s when Jerku has re-integrated to global football, the sport soon became a part of Jerkuan society and a weapon to fight against the negative trauma of the country due to loss of independence during the World War.
