The
origin of Futsal® (Five-a-Side Soccer) can be traced back to
Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1930 when Juan Carlos Ceriani devised a
five-a-side version of soccer for youth competion in YMCAs. The
game is played on basketball-sized courts, both indoors and out
without the use of sidewalls.
The game is frequently referred to as Five-A-Side or
Mini-soccer. Once Ceriani got the ball rolling, Futsal gained
rapid popularity throughout South America, particularly in
Brazil. The skill developed in this game is visible in the
world-famous style the Brazilians display outdoors on the
full-sized field. Pele, Zico, Socrates, Bebeto and other
Brazilian superstars developed their skill playing Futsal. While
Brazil continues to be the Futsal hub of the world, the game is
now played, under the auspices of FIFA, all over the world, from
Europe to North and Central America and the Caribbean, South
America, Africa, and Asia and Oceania.
