Similar to how they close down streets for the running of the
bulls
in Spain, a section of the city is dedicated to a soccer match
where
the players kick the balls through the streets, sidewalks, over
bridges even into and out of businesses that agree to be open
to
the game by having their
doors open and placing a sign
indicating
it's okay to play soccer in their premisis.
The reason a business might do this is the cameras would
follow the action through their business and say nice things
about it for some advertising. The announcers would have a
script to say nice things about the business as an advertising
gimmic,
"And the ball is stolen, taken into Happy Time Ice Cream, over
200 flavors and, oh wait, stolen back and kicked into Dream
Weaver Hair Pieces For Men, Tops in covering your top, and
back onto the street towards the main street overpass..."

Terry Pratchett has covered this ground pretty well.

//cordoned off section of a city//
Amateurs... Play WHILE the city lives around you (but still
with all the permissions, open doors etc.).
"Excellent use of a moving vehicle to deflect the ball down a
side-street!" |

Now THAT'S some TicTock challenge material. I'd watch it. Be
shaking my head and saying "Oh the humanity!" the whole
time but I'd watch it. |

I think this is how soccer was invented. See link for an example |
|

//I thought...// As my grandfather used to say, you know what thought did, stuck a feather in his arse and thought he could fly. |
|

But to be serious for a few seconds, you are conflating "how" and "why". |
|

How was football invented? Medieval people logged onto the halfbakery and read this idea, which gave them the idea of playing football through the streets. |
|
| |
Why was football invented? To keep boys from wanking. Hence the indisputable fact that no boy has wanked since the year 1500 approx. |

You might enjoy Australian Rules, then, [dr3]; the violence of
rugby with the speed of basketball. |

<old joke> //no boy has wanked since 1500 approx// -
amazing - and it's nearly 4 o'clock now! </old joke> |
