Futsal
Futsal is the indoor
version of association football (soccer) that is officially
sanctioned by football's international governing body, the
Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). Its name is
derived from the Portuguese futebol de salão, and the Spanish
"futbol de salón", both of which mean roughly large-room
soccer.
Futsal is played between two
teams of five players, one of which is the goalkeeper, in addition
each team may have a number of substitutes. Unlike some other forms
of indoor football, the field is delimited by lines, and not nets or
boards which the ball my be played off. The ball used tends to be
heavier so promotes better control skills as well as passing on the
ground; passing through the air is not allowed. Furthermore the
smaller the area of play further forces players to improve their
skills and decision making.
Other forms of indoor football
games, which are played by somewhat different rules, exist and may
be referred to as indoor football, five-a-side football or indoor
soccer. Those games predate the formulation of official rules of
futsal.
History of
Futsal
The development of futsal is traced back to 1930 in
Montevideo, Uruguay, the same year the World Cup was held in the
country. The credit for this is given to Juan Carlos Ceriani who
wanted a version of football to be played at YMCAs both indoors and
outdoors. Credit is also sometimes given to a similar form of
football being developed in Sao Paulo, Brazil. These forms of
football were quickly adopted around South America, and many of the
continent's greatest stars played futsal before migrating to
full-sized association football. The first common rules were
reportedly published in Sao Paulo in 1936.
A governing body was created in
1971 to administer the game and its championships; this was the
International Indoor Football Federation (FIFUSA, from the initials
in both Portuguese and Spanish), which later become the Worldwide
Futsal Association (AMF). FIFA took over control over the game in
1989 and continued the tournament in its name. New rules and
amendments to previous rules were created by FIFA at this point. One
of the most remarkable changes was the reduction of the ball weight,
which made possible faster play and, for the first time, scoring
goals with the head (though this is still difficult and
uncommon).
FIFA's regulating of the game has
led to increasing interest, and increased participation, in Futsal.
Many countries are attempting to promote Futsal over the informal
(and unofficial) form of five-a-side football.
Futsal - From
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Futsal
is new to Papua New Guinea. It has just been launched by the OFC
and FIFA team at the Com-Unity Seminar in April 2006. Futsal has
not been played before this date when it was kicked off. But more
youths are starting to love Futsal and are playing the game in
schools, backyards and roadsides.
There
are Futsal competitions coming up this year (2006). These are
regional Futsal tournament which will be organised by each of the
four regions in PNG.
The age
group that will participate in this coming competition are U13 and
U15 girls only division and U12 and U14 boys only
division.

following notes about Futsal.
With
the introduction of Futsal into the country, with the aim of

helping them develop and improve their skills, we will take a look
into the game of Futsal.
