Not a soccer fan so where did the term "Friendly" come from?

Good question. I have no idea; maybe some of our resident futbol mavens will know. I did find out where the term "cap" (for international competition) comes from:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cap_(sport)
Quote:In sport, a cap is a metaphorical term for a player's appearance in a game at international level. The term dates from the practice in the United Kingdom of awarding a cap to every player in an international match of association football. In the early days of football, the concept of each team wearing a set of matching shirts had not been universally adopted, so each side would distinguish itself from the other by wearing a specific sort of cap.
