⚽Luật Futsal

Futsal is a five-a-side indoor form of football played on a hard court with a smaller, low-bounce ball. Fast and technical, it rewards close ball control, short passing and creativity in a confined space. It is governed worldwide by FIFA.

Score more goals than the opponent by sending the ball fully into their goal, while respecting the Laws of the Game.

• •Five players per team on court, including one goalkeeper.
• •Side restarts are taken with the foot (kick-in), not thrown by hand.
• •A player has 4 seconds to take a kick-in, corner, goal clearance or free kick.
• •There is no offside in futsal.
• •The ball has a reduced bounce and is mostly played on the ground.
• •Substitutions are flying and unlimited, with no stoppage of play.

A goal is awarded when the whole ball crosses the goal line between the posts, with no infringement. Each goal counts as one point. The score is the total number of goals each team scores across the match.

A match consists of two 20-minute periods of effective playing time, separated by a break of about 15 minutes. If a knockout match is tied, extra time and/or a penalty shoot-out may apply depending on the competition rules.

The team that has scored the most goals at the end of regulation wins. If level, the match is a draw, unless the competition uses extra time and a shoot-out to decide it.
