About Futsal:
Futsal is a football-based game played on a hardcourt, resembling a basketball court but smaller than a traditional football pitch, and typically conducted indoors. It shares similarities with five-a-side football and indoor football.
The game involves two teams, each comprising five players, including one goalkeeper. Unlimited substitutions are allowed. In contrast to certain other forms of indoor football, futsal is played on a hard court marked with lines; walls or boards are not utilized. The game employs a smaller, harder, and lower-bounce ball compared to traditional association football. The choice of surface, ball, and rules emphasizes ball control and passing within confined spaces.
Futsal places a strong emphasis on control, improvisation, creativity, and technique, making it a dynamic and skill-centric variant of football.
