What is futsal?

Futsal is the approved version of five-aside football and the world’s fastest-growing indoor sport. Futsal is a small-sided – 5v5 – game played with a smaller (size 3 or 4) low bounce ball, on a basketball-sized court without rebound walls or nets. It is a game that combines fun, creativity, speed, technique, teamwork, and quick thinking.

With millions of players worldwide, futsal is a fantastic game in its own right, with professional leagues throughout Europe, South America and Asia, and a FIFA Futsal World Cup every four years. The current world champions are Brazil. Futsal produces technically excellent players and as such is an invaluable tool for football development. Futsal actively promotes:

  • individual ball skills, close control, and dribbling,
  • creativity and improvisation,
  • maintenance of ball possession,
  • one-touch passing (along the ground)
  • accurate shooting, and
  • teamwork and off the ball movement.

$285 per team
