Futsal is an exciting, fast-paced small sided football game that originated from South America. It is played in a smaller area, using the 5v5 format (4 outfielders and a goalkeeper), with a heavier ball, and allows players to constantly rotate positions during game play.
The nature of the game places a large emphasis on technical skill and ability in situations of high pressure, and is subsequently an excellent breeding ground for football competencies that can be translated into the 11-a-side format of the game.
Many of the top world class footballers played Futsal in their youth and credit it with supporting their footballing development. Players of the caliber of Neymar, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Lionel Messi to name but a few of the South American legends all played and enjoyed Futsal. But Futsal has not just helped produce South American football stars, on the European stage Cristiano Ronaldo, Iniesta, Xavi, Fabregas amongst many others have played Futsal to develop their skills.
