What is futsal?
Futsal is the FIFA-recognised form of small-sided indoor football (the word is a contraction of the Spanish ‘futbol sala’). It is played between two teams who each have five players on the pitch at any one time, with rolling substitutes and a smaller ball than soccer that is harder and less bouncy.
The small amount of space means that players must have great technique and skill, and as well as a professional sport in its own right with national and international championships, it is also considered a development tool for 11-aside football.
Don’t just take our word for it…

“I played futsal growing up…you need to think quick and play quick so it’s easier for you when you move to normal football.”
— Pele
“When I was a young boy in Argentina, I played futsal in the street and in a club. It was great fun and helped me to become the player I am today.”

“In futsal, you see whether a player is really talented. You notice the small details in quality, class and tactical understanding.”

“Futsal is an excellent way for children to develop their skills and understanding of the game. My technique and my dribbling skills came from playing futsal.”

“During my childhood in Portugal, all we played was futsal. The smaller court helped my futsal skills. The nature of the game made me feel so free when I played. If it wasn’t for futsal I would definately not be the player I am today.”
