Study Overview
Futsal is a sport derived from soccer, traditionally played on a small indoor pitch and involving two teams of five players. Although there may be a difference between the discipline of futsal and the activity of futsal, the name refers to indoor soccer complexes. Futsal was created in Uruguay after the 1930 World Cup and is a recent phenomenon in Europe. Originally known as indoor soccer, futsal is a contraction of the Spanish or Portuguese word for "soccer" and the French or Spanish word for "indoor". Futsal arrived in Portugal in the late 1970s. In 1986, the Portuguese Futsal Federation was founded as part of the Portuguese Football Federation. The Federation has over 25,000 registered athletes. The sport spread to other parts of the country and became increasingly popular with young people. In this context, futsal has the potential to become the most popular of the country's emblematic sports.
