Do you know what it is FUTSAL?

Futsal is an indoor version of association football. It is played between two teams of five players, one of whom is the goalkeeper, and up to seven substitutes per team. Unlike some other forms of indoor football, the game is played on a hard court surface delimited by lines; walls or boards are not used.

Futsal is also played with a smaller ball with less bounce than a regulation football. The rules create an emphasis on improvisation, creativity and technique as well as ball control and passing in small spaces.

Americans like to think of Futsal as a new game but the 50-year old sport has been a valuable part of most professional soccer player's resumes for many years. In fact, futsal is the only indoor game sanctioned by the FIFA.
