What is Futsal?

“Futsal is an extremely important

way for kids to develop their skills

and understanding of the game.”

Ronaldinho

(FIFA World Footballer of the Year 2004, 2005

“I played Futsal for 2 or 3 years before I joined Santos.

Futsal was important in helping to develop my ball

control, quick thinking, passing….

also for dribbling, balance, concentration….

futsal was very, very important, no doubt”.

Pele, World football icon and arguably

the greatest ever football player
