Futsal is an exciting, fast-paced small-sided soccer game that is played across the world. Futsal earned the status of FIFA’s official form of indoor soccer in the 1980s as it was recognized as a scaled-down version of outdoor soccer. It is a 5 v 5 small-sided game played on a hard-surfaced, basketball sized court with a smaller, low bounce ball. Futsal is played with touchline boundaries and without walls.
Futsal places a large emphasis on technical skill in high-pressure situations which can be translated to the outdoor game. The sport is a great skill developer as it demands quick reflexes, fast thinking, and pin-point passing.
Futsal is played in all the continents of the world by over 100 countries with 12 million players. Great soccer superstars such as Pele, Zico, Kaka, Ronaldo, and Messi, grew up playing the game and credit futsal with developing their skills.
