Futsal is an indoor version of football. The dimensions of the futsal court are much smaller than the football pitch. Usually the sideline is around 40m and the goal line is 20m. From the outer edges of the goal posts there is an arc with a radius of 6 m, which marks the penalty area. The distance between the goal posts is 3 meters.
Futsal matches are divided into two halves, each of which lasts 20 minutes. The players have a break between the halves, which lasts max. 15 minutes. A break, but only of 1 minute, may also be ordered by the team’s coach.
Fouling an opponent can be very disadvantageous for the entire team. The fouls are accumulated. Each foul goes to the account of the entire team. When one side fouls the opponent 5 times, the referee stops the game and the injured parties receive a penalty shot.
The first public show of the game of five-person football took place in 1930 in the capital of Uruguay – Montevideo. Originally, it was supposed to be a form intended only for children and adolescents and did not assume only playing indoors. Mini football has become very popular in South America, especially in Brazil. And it was the Brazilian Confederation of Sports that, in 1958, wrote the first rules of “futebol de salão”.
In 1965, the first international Futsal tournament was played, with Paraguay winning.
In 1971, the International Futsal Federation (FIFUSA) was established. 10 years later, the Federation organized the first world championship in this discipline, which was played in São Paulo. The key year for the development of this discipline was 1988. It was then that FIFA incorporated futsal into its remit and updated its rules. The first FIFA Indoor Football World Cup was held in 1989. The championship was played in the Netherlands and Brazil won the cup. Currently, the most important futsal sporting event is called the FIFA Futsal World Cup.
The current world champion in Futsal is Portugal, who defeated Argentina 2-1 in the Final in 2021
