Futsal to make its debut in the Saskatchewan Winter Games in 2022 |
|
Saskatchewan Soccer Association (SSA) is proud and excited for Futsal to make its debut in the Saskatchewan Winter Games in 2022. Over the past several years Futsal has been growing in Saskatchewan, and look forward to continuing to grow the game through this tremendous opportunity.
What is Futsal?
Futsal is the only version of the indoor game recognized by FIFA. It is played 5-aside on a smaller, hard court surface, with a low bounce ball that allows each player to make technical and tactical decisions in a productive environment that still encourages the physical and social elements associated with soccer.
