Cuju or '''''ts'u-chü''''' () is an ancient Chinese football game that resembles a mix of basketball, association football (soccer), and volleyball. FIFA cites cuju as the earliest form of a kicking game for which there is documentary evidence, drawing references from a military manual from the Han dynasty.
