What is futsal?
Futsal is the indoor version of football played between two teams of five players, including one goalkeeper, with unlimited substitutions permitted. The confined space, hard court surface and smaller ball create an emphasis on improvisation, creativity and technique.
Football Queensland is committed to the continued development of Futsal by establishing clubs and regions throughout Queensland as well as providing a structured and recognised learning environment for coaches and referees.
