Futsal is a modified association of football played on a hard court, smaller than a football pitch, and mainly indoors. It can be considered a version of five-a-side football.
It is played between two teams of five players each, one of whom is the goalkeeper and unlimited substitutions are permitted.
The game’s emphasis is on improvisation, creativity and technique.
Technical Director at the GFA Vin Blaine says this new game is among the projects the body will focus on in the new year.
