Introduction

Futsal is a variant of association football played on a hard court smaller than a football pitch, with five players per team instead of eleven. The game is played with a smaller, heavier ball with less bounce than a standard football.

Futsal is a popular sport in many countries around the world, and there are many amateur futsal leagues. These leagues provide a great opportunity for people of all ages and skill levels to play the game.
