What is the difference between Soccer and Futsal?

  • Futsal is played on a flat, hard surface most similar to a basketball court
  • The court is sized for 5v5 play and uses a smaller and heavier ball than a soccer ball which keeps the ball on the ground more often than in the air
  • The game is much faster with the flat surface and tight spaces. Certain ball-skill techniques are used in futsal like receiving with the sole of the foot, toe poke is a shooting technique, etc.
  • With these differences, even an experienced soccer player might notice significant differences between the two sports
  • Skills developed through futsal compliment skills developed in soccer, and vice-versa
