WHAT IS FUTSAL?

Futsal is a grassroots, small-sided football format that is officially recognised by both UEFA and FIFA. It is the fastest-growing indoor sport in the world!

Futsal is a five-a-side game, normally played on a flat indoor pitch with hockey-sized goals and a size-four ball with a reduced bounce. It is played to touchlines, meaning there are no rebound boards or walls. All players are free to enter the penalty area and play the ball over head height. Games are 20 minutes per half, played to a stopping clock (similar to basketball) with time-outs permitted.

Futsal places a large emphasis on technical skill and ability in situations of high pressure, enabling players to develop football competencies that can be translated into the 11-a-side format of the game.

BACKGROUND

Maidenhead United Futsal was established in June 2023 following the merger of Reading Royals Futsal into the Maidenhead United family.

Maidenhead United is passionate about growing the futsal across the Thames Valley and M4 corridor. Our objective is to build on the fantastic achievements and reputation of Reading Royals Futsal and be at the forefront of futsal development in the South of England.
