Futsal is the only FIFA and NZ Football approved version of five-aside football and the world’s fastest growing indoor sport.
Futsal is a small-sided – 5v5 – game played with a smaller (size 3 or 4) low bounce ball, on a basketball sized court without rebound walls or nets.
It is a game which combines fun, creativity, speed, technique, teamwork and quick thinking.
NZF Futsal has been designed to complement New Zealand Football’s existing programmes and promote and improve participation in football in New Zealand.

START AND RESTART OF PLAY
From kickoff, ball is in play once it is kicked and moves in any direction.
When the ball goes out over the sideline, it is then placed on the sideline. From a stationary position, the ball is kicked into the court.
The ball is in play at a goal clearance once it leaves the goalkeepers’ hand.
A goal cannot be scored directly from a kick-in unless it touches another player.
All opposing players must be at least 5 metres from the ball for kick off and restarting play.
