Futsal is a variant of soccer, mainly played indoors and is played between two teams of 5 players. The sport is played worldwide and is the only form of indoor soccer recognized by FIFA. The game is also played with a slightly smaller ball than soccer’s (size 4). The sport places more emphasis on ball control, passing, technique, and dribbling due to the smaller parameters of the game. Many professional soccer players played futsal when growing up. Below are some comparisons to soccer’s rules & regulations.

Futsal (Five-a-Side Soccer)

  • #4 Ball – 30% less bounce
  • 5 players
  • Unlimited “flying” substitutions (12 Players on a Team)
  • Kick-in
  • Stopped Clock
  • 20 minute halves
  • 1 timeout per half
  • Goal Clearance (throw)
  • No shoulder charges or sliding tackles
  • 4-second rule on restarts
