i've never really understood what futsal is.

[FS5]

Futsal is the official FIFA and UEFA version of indoor 5 a side football (soccer) and indeed the only internationally recognised small sided game.



The word "Futsal" comes from the Portuguese phrase "futebol de salao" or the Spanish, "futbol de sala" which basically means indoor football.



The main feature of the game is the ball which is a size 4 slightly weighted leather ball with restricted bounce.



Futsal uses a special low bounce ball, which encourages players to develop skills instead of using the balls bounce to propel it. People who play futsal sharpen their reflexes and improve their decision-making under pressure.



With a 4 second restart rule, small playing area and unlimited substitutions the game offers fast non-stop action and significantly increases a players speed of play, and playing within an area bounded by a touch line all around the court, further encourages players to keep the ball in play instead of relying on walls, as often used in other versions of indoor soccer.
