The origin of Futsal (Five-a-Side Soccer) can be traced back to Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1930. The game is played on basketball-sized courts, both indoors and out without the use of sidewalls. It indeed was exciting to see our players perform their best.

The term FUTSAL is the international term used for the game. It is derived from the Spanish or Portuguese word for “soccer”– FUTbol or FUTebol, and the French or Spanish word for “indoor” — SALon or SALa. The skill developed in this game is visible in the world-famous style the Brazilians display outdoors on the full-sized field and needless to say that our players quiet gave it a new dimension of excitement and thrill.

Way to go winners and others.
