Futsal, also known as "five-a-side" or "mini-soccer," is a game of skill that is played by 12 million players in more than 100 countries. The trademark term Futsal is a combination of the Spanish or Portuguese word for "soccer" and the French or Spanish word for indoors, "salon" or "sala." Legendary soccer players, such as Pele, Zico and Socrates, all grew up playing this game and have credited Futsal for helping develop their skills.
