What is Futsal?
This has grown from an 11.33% percentage in a decade². Futsal is the automatic game of choice in Brazil, played from the youngest age to the oldest by males and females. Significant numbers of registered Futsal players exist in countries such as Japan, Holland and indeed Italy, where there appear to be more registered Futsal clubs than football clubs.
Benefits of Futsal?
Mainly because it’s all-action and everyone’s involved all the time. For example, in an average 40-minute Futsal contest an outfield player will touch the ball roughly every 29 seconds, or 80 touches. This is compared to a 90-minute outdoor game where it’s only around 30-40 touches. That is more than double in only half the time. (Source: FIFA)
In England, 90% of National Futsal League players surveyed agreed that Futsal helps you be a better footballer, mainly due to the technical aspects and demands of the game, i.e. you need to be quicker, and have improved ball control, use of space and fitness. And if you need more evidence, just take a look at some of the players quoted on these pages.
