Futsal formations and positions.
Futsal is five a side football played indoors on a hard court of 40 by 20 metres with a smaller, low-bounce ball and rolling substitutions. A match is two halves of 20 minutes played on a stopped clock. A goal is scored when the ball crosses the goal line between the posts, and accumulated fouls beyond five in a half give a direct free kick without a wall. The FIFA Futsal Laws of the Game apply, administered in England by the FA.
