Futsal

FUTSAL-AH

Hello everyone, today we will talk about " Futsal ". My favourite sports 😊

Lets start!

Futsal or futsala, is a variant of association football played on a hard court, smaller than a football pitch, and mainly indoor. It can be considered a version of five-a-side football. 

Futsal is played between two teams of five players each, one of whom is the goalkeeper. Unlimited substitutions are permitted. 

Unlike some other forms of indoor football, the game is played on a hard court surface delimited by lines; walls or board are not used. 

Futsal is played with a smaller ball. The surface, ball and rules create an emphasis on improvisation, creativity, and technique as well as ball control and passing in small spaces. 

Now with the history of futsal!

Futsal comes from spanish words "futbol sala" or "futbol de salon" thats mean "indoor football" but a more literal translation is "hall/lounge football". Futsal started in 1930 when Juan Carlos Ceriani (picture below), a teacher in Montevideo, Uruguay, created a version of indoor football for recreation in YMCA.  

This new sport was originally developed for playing on basketball courts, and a rule book was published in september 1933. His goal was to create a team game that could be played indoor or outdoor but that was similar to football, which became quite popular there after Uruguay won the 1930 World Cup and gold medals in the 1924 and 1928 Summer Olympics. 

Okay, enough with the history lesson. 

For me, futsal is one of the best sports you should try because its physical games and fun to play if you really enjoy it! No need to seriously played the game, just enjoy and have fun with your friend 😊 #MajulahSukanUntukNegara
