FUTSAL
HISTORY
Futsal started in 1930 when Juan Carlos Ceriani Gravier, a teacher in
Montevideo, Uruguay, created a version of indoor football for
recreation in YMCAs. This new sport was originally developed for
playing on basketball courts, and a rule book was published in
September 1933. His goal was to create a team game that could be
played indoor or outdoor but that was similar to football, which
became quite popular there after Uruguay won the 1930 World Cup
and gold medals in the 1924 and 1928 Summer Olympics.
Rules
-Lenght of the field: minimum 25x16m, maximum 42x25m
-Ball: Size 4, circumference 62–64 cm, weight between 400-440g at the start
of the game. Dropped from an height of 2m, the first rebound must not be
lower than 50 cm or more than 65 cm.
-Time: There are two periods of 20 minutes with time stopping at every dead
ball. Between the two periods there is a break of 15 minutes. Each team may
use one time-out per half, which lasts one minute. Some lower leagues and
tournaments use 24 minute periods with running time.
-Number of players: There are five players for each team in the field, one of
them as goalkeeper, and a maximum number of 12 players that can be used
each match. Substitutions are unlimited and on-the-fly.
-Fauls: All direct free kicks count as accumulated fouls. A direct free kick is
awarded for kicking, tripping, charging, jumping, pushing, striking, tackling,
holding, spitting, and deliberate handling. Indirect free kicks, such as playing
dangerously and impeding, do not count as accumulated fouls. A team is
warned by the referee when they commit five accumulated fouls in a half.
-Cards: A yellow card is shown for unsporting behavior, dissent, time
wasting, encroachment, persistent infringement, and illegal subbing. A red
card is shown for serious foul play, violent conduct, spitting, denying an
obvious goal-scoring opportunity, abusive language, and receiving a second
yellow. Red carded players are ejected from the game and their team must
play short for two minutes or until the other team scores a goal.
-Free kicks: Taken from the spot of the infringement or on the line of the
penalty area nearest the infringement (indirect only). All opponents must be
at least 5m away from the ball. The kick must be taken within four seconds
or an indirect kick is awarded to the other team.
-Kick from the second penalty mark: Awarded when a team commits 6 or
more accumulated fouls in a half. Second penalty mark is 10m from the goal,
opponents must be behind the ball, goalkeeper must be at least 5m away
-Penalty kick:6m from the center of the goal for fouls inside the 6m goal
keeper's area.
-Goalkeeper:When he’s in possession of the ball, he has 4 seconds to get rid
of the ball. If he takes too long, the referee will give an indirect kick to the
other team. The goalkeeper may play freely when on the opponent's half
-Goalkeeper pass-back restriction: Once the goalkeeper has released the
ball either by kicking or throwing, he may not touch it again until the
ball goes out of play or is touched by an opponent. The sanction for
violation is an indirect free kick. The goalkeeper may receive the ball
freely when on the opponent's half.
-Kick-in: A kick-in is used instead of a throw-in. The player must place the
ball on the touchline or outside but not more than 25 cm from the place
the ball when out of play. The ball must be stationary and the kick-in
must be taken within 4 seconds from the time he is ready. During kickin, opponents must stand at least 5m from the ball. If four seconds
elapses or an illegal kick is taken, the referee will award a kick-in to the
other team. It is not allowed to score directly from a kick-in: the goal is
valid only if someone else touches the ball before it enters in goal.
-Goal clearance : A goal clearance is used instead of a goal kick. The
goalkeeper must throw the ball with his hands and it must leave the
penalty area within four seconds. If goal clearance is taken illegally he
may retry, but the referee won't reset the count. If four seconds
elapses, the other team gets an indirect kick on the penalty area line.
-Corner kick:The ball must be placed inside the arc nearest to the point
where the ball crossed the goal line and the opponent must stand on field at
least 5 m from the corner arch until the ball is in play. The corner kick must
be taken within 4 seconds of being ready or else a goal clearance will be
awarded to the other team. The ball is in play when it is kicked and moves.
-Referees:For international matches, there must be two referees: one (first
referee) is positioned on the touchline near the timekeeper table and
communicates with the timekeeper, while the other (second referee) is in
the opposite side of the field. At the timekeeper table there is a timekeeper
and a third referee, who controls the teams’ benches. In minor events, the
third referees and the timekeeper are not used.
Players,equipent and officials
There are five players on the field on each team, one of whom is the goalkeeper. The
maximum number of substitutes allowed is nine (FIFA change 2012), with unlimited
substitutions during the match. Substitutes can come on even when the ball is in play but
the player coming off must leave the field before the substitute can enter the playing
field.[11] If a team has fewer than three players in the team, the match is abandoned and
counted as a loss for the team with the lack of players.[12]
The kit is made up of a jersey or shirt with sleeves, shorts, socks, shinguards made out of
rubber or plastic, and shoes with rubber soles. The goalkeeper is allowed to wear long
trousers and a different coloured kit to distinguish himself from the other players on the
team and the referee. He is also allowed to wear elbow pads because the surface is
about as hard as a tennis court or basketball court. Jewellery is not allowed, nor are
other items that could be dangerous to the player wearing the item or to other active
participants.[13]
The match is controlled by the referee, who enforces the Laws of the Game, and the first
referee is the only one who can legally abandon the match because of interference from
outside the field. This referee is also assisted by a second referee who typically watches
over the goal lines or assists the primary referee with calls on fouls or plays. The
decisions made by the referees are final and can only be changed if the referees think it is
necessary and play has not restarted.[14] There is also a third referee and a timekeeper
who are provided with equipment to keep a record of fouls in the match. In the event of
injury to the second referee, the third referee will replace the second referee.
The field
The field is made up of wood or artificial material, or similar surface, although any flat, smooth
and non-abrasive material may be used. The length of the field is in the range of 38–42 m (42–
46 yd), and the width is in the range of 20–25 m (22–27 yd) in international matches. For other
matches, it can be 25–42 m (27–46 yd) in length, while the width can be 16–25 m (17–27 yd), as
long as the length of the longer boundary lines (touchlines) are greater than the shorter
boundaries where the goals are placed (goal lines). The "standard" size court for an international
is 40 m × 20 m (44 yd × 22 yd).The ceiling must be at least 4 m (4 yd) high.A rectangular goal is
positioned at the middle of each goal line. The inner edges of the vertical goal posts must be 3 m
(3.3 yd) apart, and the lower edge of the horizontal crossbar supported by the goal posts must
be 2 m (2.2 yd) above the ground. Nets made of hemp, jute or nylon are attached to the back of
the goalposts and crossbar. The lower part of the nets is attached to curved tubing or another
suitable means of support. The depth of the goal is 80 cm (31 in) at the top and 1 m (3.3 ft) at the
bottom.
In front of each goal is an area known as the penalty area. This area is created by drawing
quarter-circles with a 6 m (6.6 yd) radius from the goal line, centered on the goalposts. The
upper part of each quarter-circle is then joined by a 3.16 m (3.46 yd) line running parallel to the
goal line between the goalposts. The line marking the edge of the penalty area is known as the
penalty area line.[19] The penalty area marks where the goalkeeper is allowed to touch the ball
with his hands. The penalty mark is six metres from the goal line when it reaches the middle of
the goalposts. The second penalty mark is 10 metres (11 yd) from the goal line when it reaches
the middle of the goalposts. A penalty kick from the penalty spot is awarded if a player commits
a foul inside the penalty area.[20] The second penalty spot is used if a player commits his team's
sixth foul in the opposing team's half or in his own half in the area bordered by the halfway line
and an imaginary line parallel to the halfway line passing through the second penalty mark; the
free kick is taken from the second penalty mark.[21]
Any standard team handball field can be used for futsal, including goals and floor markings
Duration and tie-breaking methods
A standard match consists of two equal periods of 20 minutes. The length
of either half is extended to allow penalty kicks to be taken or a direct
free kick to be taken against a team that has committed more than five
fouls. The interval between the two halves cannot exceed 15 minutes.[22]
In some competitions, the game cannot end in a draw, so away goals,
extra time and penalties are the three methods for determining the
winner after a match has been drawn. Away goals mean that if the
team's score is level after playing one home and one away game, the
goals scored in the away match count as double. Extra time consists of
two periods of five minutes. If no winner is produced after these
methods, five penalties are taken, and the team that has scored the most
wins. If it is not decided after five penalties, it continues to go on with
one extra penalty to each team at a time until one of them has scored
more goals than the other. Unlike extra time, the goals scored in a
penalty shoot-out do not count towards the goals scored throughout the
match
