What is Futsal?
‘The origin of Futsal can be traced back to Montevideo,
Uruguay, in 1930 when Juan Carlos Ceriani devised a
five-a-side version of soccer for youth competion in
YMCAs. The game is played on basketball-sized courts,
both indoors and out without the use of sidewalls. The
term FUTSAL is the international term used for the game.
It is derived from the Spanish or Portuguese word for
"soccer", FUTbol or FUTebol, and the French
or Spanish word for "indoor", SALon or SALa.’
Information from United States Futsal Federation.
