Apopudobalia (Ancient Greek: ἀποπουδοβαλία; ἀπο- + ποδός + ball + -ία) is a fictional sport which was the subject of a famous fictitious entry (humorous hoax or copyright trap in a reference work). Although no such sport actually existed, the German-language Der neue Pauly Enzyklopaedie der Antike, edited by H. Cancik and H. Schneider, vol. 1 (Stuttgart, 1996, ISBN 3-476-01470-3) gives a description of it as an ancient Greco-Roman sport that anticipates modern soccer. The article goes on to cite suitably sparse documentation for the non-existent sport (this includes a Festschrift to one M. Sammer), and to assert that a Roman form of the game enjoyed a certain popularity amongst the Roman legions, and consequently spread throughout the Empire as far afield as Britain, "where the game enjoye

(It also notes that the game was frowned upon by some early Christian writers, such as Tertullian.) In reality, the ancient Romans did play a game resembling rugby called harpastum. (en)

Enligt deras artikel är apopudobalia en sport med grekisk-romerska rötter som påminner om dagens fotboll. Artikeln citerar lagom svag dokumentation för den icke-existerande sporten, inklusive en festskrift för en M. Sammer. Den hävdar vidare att en romersk variant spreds med legionärer över det romerska riket till Brittiska öarna där "sporten fick ett uppsving under 1800-talet", samt att den inte sågs med blida ögon av tidiga kristna krönikeskrivare som Tertullianus. I verkligheten spelade romarna verkligen ett bollspel som kallades harpastum. (sv)
