What is Futsal?

Futsal is a fast-paced indoor soccer variation for five-a-side teams, played on a hard court with a smaller, heavier ball that has a reduced bounce. This combination encourages technical skill, quick passing, and creative play.

Teams and pitch
  • It is a 5-a-side game played on a hard, flat indoor court with boundary lines, and uses hockey-sized goals. 
Ball
  • A size 4 ball is used, which is heavier and has a significantly reduced bounce compared to a standard soccer ball, keeping the game on the ground and promoting ball control. 
Rules:
  • Games are played in two 20-minute halves with a stopping clock. 
  • Time-outs are permitted. 
  • Instead of throw-ins, a kick-in is used from the sideline. 
  • Goalkeepers have specific rules, such as throwing or rolling the ball out after a goal clearance. 
Integrity is doing the right thing when no one is watching
