[edit] Definition
The term futsal is the contraction of the portuguese expression Futebol de Salão. Because in 1983 FIFA claimed ownership of the term football (soccer), the FIFUSA/AMF created the term futsal (fut-sal). In 1985, during its Congres in Madrid, Spain, the term futsal was written into the statutes of the FIFUSA/AMF. In 1990 FIFA used the term, originating in the FIFUSA/AMF organization, and the majority of the rules to create a fusion between FIFA's futsal and football à cinq (five a side soccer) that belong to it. The FIFUSA/AMF does not recognize this fusion sport as futsal, however, FIFA continues to use futsal as the name. In fact you must make a difference between futsal which belong to the international government body of the FIFUSA/AMF, and the futsal FIFA which belong to the FIFA studiojb
Futebol de Salão is NOT the same as futsal. So why does the former link to the latter?? Ondog 07:59, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Futsal is NOT the same as Five-a-side football. - See http://www.thefa.com/application?origin=template.jsp&event=bea.portal.framework.internal.refresh&pageid=maximise&pageName=grassroots&pillar=grassroots&contentId=27464&contentType=1&subContentType=1
- In Futsal, you can't bounce the ball of the side wall. That's a fundamental difference. From the quick hunt I've made in the lat 10 minutes, I don't think there are any standard rules for five-a-side. In Britain there are thousands of five-a-sive clubs and about 50 five-a-side leagues. There are rules recommended by the FA to which the U.S.S.C. have made their own amendments. Mintguy
OK, call them different games if you want.
Then you need a page for indoor soccer, too. Indoor soccer is as much different from futsal as what is talked about on the link you gave me. FIFA's rules of futsal are an attempt to standardize a game that isn't very standard.
The US futsal team is the US five-a-side team.
People will tell you that indoor soccer is totally different from futsal, too. But it's really the same game, only different.
There are dasher boards in indoor soccer too. The games are still similar.
[edit] Bias
Even if futsal official rules were designed after the other types, its absurd to say futsal is a latter creation. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 201.8.9.245 (talk • contribs) 29 Nov 2005.
[edit] Japan
There is a Japanese celebrity women's league that's been getting a lot of press of late. As this may be the only national Futsal league (at least the article does not mention others) would this bear mentioning?
[edit] After the sixth foul
Are all of those sanctions taken simultaneously after a team accrues six fouls in a half, or due they accrue sequentially with each additional foul after six? All of that coming at once upon the sixth foul seems a little harsh to me, and the article isn't totally clear on this. Being that limited defensively would seem to amount almost to a "death sentence" of certain defeat if all are applied at once against an opponent while the other team suffers no such consequences because of a lower total of fouls.

[edit] microfutbol
Does anyone watching this page know how microfutbol relates to either futsal or 5-a-side? Microfutbol currently doesn't have an article and is on Wikipedia:Articles requested for more than a year. -- Rick Block (talk) 16:25, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] UEFS
I have moved UEFS Futsal Championship from Europe to International competition because in UEFS Championship some non european nations participate, Australia for instance. Cpt.Miller 12:22, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
