Clear answers to common questions about futsal, finding courts, and using The Futsal Directory. Everything on this page is written for players, organisers, and venue owners.
Futsal is a fast-paced variant of football played on a hard, flat court — indoors or outdoors — between two teams of five players including the goalkeeper. It uses a smaller, low-bounce ball that keeps the game tight and technical. FIFA officially recognises futsal as the indoor version of football, and it is played in over 100 countries worldwide.
5-a-side is a broad term for any small-sided game; it is often played on an artificial grass pitch with walls or boards. Futsal is a specific, officially governed format with strict rules on court dimensions, ball size, and playing surface. Futsal courts have no walls — play stops when the ball goes out — and the emphasis is on technical skill and quick combination play.
