Trivia: names for sportsball

[pauamma]

There are (that I'm aware of) two languages or major language dialects in which football isn't called "football" or a phonetic rendering.

One is el_GR, which uses the calque ποδοσφέρί.

The other is en_US, which uses "soccer", but https://www.etymonline.com/word/soccer#etymonline_v_23809 hints this meaning originated in the UK. I'm not sure (if that's right) when and how it was displaced by "football" everywhere but the US (and maybe Canada).

In Welsh it’s the translation “pêl droed”. Does that count?

https://wals.info/valuesets/87A-wel says Welsh uses the noun-adjective order, so if Google Translate's claim that they mean "ball" and "foot" in this order is correct (and assuming "droed" is or works as an adjective), I'd say it counts as a calque.
