Futsal is a variation of association football that is typically played indoors on a smaller pitch. The name futsal is derived from the Portuguese words “futebol de salão”, which means “indoor football”. The sport utilizes a smaller and heavier ball than traditional soccer, which requires players to demonstrate more skillful ball handling and control.
Futsal is played between two teams of five players each, including a goalkeeper. The smaller playing area and reduced team size create a faster-paced game with more emphasis on individual skills, ball control, and quick decision-making. The sport is played globally and has gained popularity as a training ground for young players to develop their skills, as well as a recreational and competitive activity for adults.
