KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Futsal is a football-based game played on a hard court like a basketball court, smaller than a football pitch, and mainly indoors. It has similarities to five-a-side football and indoor football.

Detailed explanation-2: -Futsal is credited by many of the world-class footballers for developing their football skills in their early years. The origin of Futsal goes back to 1930 in Uruguay, where football rules were modified to give its participants a chance to play the game in their own space, and on their own terms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Futsal is the FIFA-recognised form of small-sided indoor football (the word is a contraction of the Spanish ‘fútbol sala’). It is played between two teams who each have five players on the pitch at any one time, with rolling substitutes and a smaller ball than soccer that is harder and less bouncy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Futsal is FIFA’s official indoor soccer game. It is small sided (5 vs. 5), played on a smaller pitch (roughly basketball court sized) and with a smaller ball. The game is played on a flat indoor pitch with 2m height x 3m weidth (6.5’x10’) goals and a size 4 ball with reduced bounce.

Detailed explanation-5: -As far as the playing surface is concerned, while futsal is played on hard surfaces, indoor soccer is played on turf. Walls surround indoor soccer pitches. Futsal courts don’t have surrounding walls at all. Futsal is faster and more intense, with continuous shots that demand players’ higher mental and physical energy.
