DEFINITION
Futsal is an association football game played on a hard court, smaller than a
football pitch, and mainly indoors. It has similarities to five-a-side football.
Invented in Montevideo, Uruguay in 1930 —in the midst of the fervor left by
1st FIFA World Cup— by the gym teacher Juan Carlos, Futsal rapidly reached
worldwide popularity. Futsal is played between two teams of five players each,
one of whom is the goalkeeper. Unlimited substitutions are permitted. Unlike
some other forms of indoor soccer, the game is played on a hard court surface
marked by lines; walls or boards are not used. Futsal is played with a smaller,
harder, low-bounce ball than soccer. The surface, ball and rules together favor
ball control and passing in small spaces. The game's emphasis is "on
improvisation, creativity and technique."
Invented in Montevideo, Uruguay in 1930 —in the midst of the
fervor left by 1st FIFA World Cup— by the gym teacher Juan
Carlos Ceriani, Futsal rapidly reached worldwide popularity.
Ceriani, writing the rule book, took as examples the principles
of association football (the possibility to touch the ball with every
part of the body except for the hands), and he took rules from
other sports too: from basketball the number of team players (five)
and the game duration (40 actual minutes); from water polo the
rules about the goalkeeper; from team handball for the field and
goal sizes. n 1965, the Confederación Sudamericana de Fútbol de

Futsal is a contact sport and a five-a-side variant of association football. It is played on a smaller
field which is usually indoors. The term futsal comes from the Portuguese 'futebol de salao' which
means hall football. Futsal is becoming very popular and people of all ages take part it in. The
worlds’ sports governing body, Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), officially
recognizes futsal as indoor football. Playing the futsal game is both entertaining and recreational.
