The history of futsal.

Originally, futsal is derived from the word “Fut” which means soccer and “Sal” which means indoors. It is said to be based on Spanish and Portuguese. It is said that the origin of futsal can be roughly divided into two streams. The first trend is “Salon Football,” which was developed using non-bounce balls mainly in Brazil and South America. The other trend is “indoor soccer”. It started in England, the birthplace of football. And it is said that it has spread to Europe and North America. Indoor soccer is played indoors. Basically, it is a game that uses the bounce of the wall. Therefore, it is similar to sports like squash and ice hockey.

The appeal of futsal.

Futsal is often compared to soccer because the rules are similar to soccer. However, futsal has a certain charm that soccer does not have. Here, I will introduce those things. The first is that the courts are smaller in futsal than in soccer. It is only about a quarter the size of a soccer court. Also, because of the small size of the court, there are only five players per team. Because of this, there is less distance to move, making it a popular sport for women and working people who want to do light exercise. In addition, the more times you touch the ball, the less bored you will be.

Introducing the futsal professional league!

There is a professional league in futsal. In terms of position, it is similar to the j-league in soccer. It is called the F-League, an acronym for futsal. If you want to see futsal in a more serious way, I recommend you pay attention to this league. There are not as many teams participating in this league as in soccer. However, the fierce clashes and heated battles between players on the small courts are very noteworthy. Also, due to the small size of the court, the scores fluctuate much more than in soccer. Therefore, the fact that we do not know who will win until the last second will also excite us.

As for the league standings, Pescadora Machida was ranked 3rd and YSCC Yokohama was ranked 10th, with YSCC Yokohama challenging the higher ranked teams. On the other hand, Pescadora Machida is a lower-ranked team, so they wanted to get three points. Pescadora Machida scored first after a mistake by YSCC Yokohama’s keeper, and although it was a tough start for YSCC Yokohama, they caught up in the first half and got back on track. It was a tough start for YSCC Yokohama, but they got back on track in the first half to level the game, and YSCC Yokohama scored early in the second half to turn the game around. However, Pescadora Machida scored from a set piece late in the game, and YSCC Yokohama had to settle for one point each. In this match, both teams competed fiercely for the ball, and the players heated up against each other at times. However, the heat reached the spectators as well, who seemed to be fighting in unison with the players. If you are reading this blog, I highly recommend that you go and watch your local futsal league.
