More About Futsal
Futsal is the FIFA five-a-side game adopted by The FA. It’s the small-sided game but not as we know it. The name simply combines the Spanish words for ‘Hall’ – Sala and ‘Football’ – Futbol into Futsal.
It is a five-a-side game, normally played on a slightly larger pitch with hockey sized goals and a smaller ball with a reduced bounce. It is played to touchlines and all players are free to enter the penalty area and play the ball over head height. As a small sided game players are constantly placed in situations where they must receive or play whilst under pressure or in confined spaces.
As a game it places considerable demand on technique, movement, tactical awareness and fitness.
Futsal has two referees, one controls the match overall, the other can stop the game for any infringement of the laws and oversees the substitutions.
