Futsal is the only "Official form of Indoor Soccer" approved by FIFA. It is played on all the continents of the world in over 100 countries by more than 12 million players.
Futsal is played on a basketball-size court. It can be played on a variety of surfaces. The game does not require the use of expensive dasher board - walls, as do other versions of indoor soccer.
Without the walls, futsal is a great skill-developer, demanding quick reflexes, fast thinking, and pin-point passing. It is an exciting game for children as well as adults.
Great soccer superstars such as Pele, Zico and Socrates grew up playing the game and credit Futsal with developing their skills. Futsal is played with a special low bounce ball, requiring players to use their skills, rather than the ball's bounce, to propel it.
The USFF sponsors futsal league play throughout the United States with leagues designed for beginners as well as premier players of all ages. We invite everyone to take the opportunity to play and enjoy the great sport of futsal. Once you try it you'll never want to stop!
