· that team shall not be allowed a defensive wall
· all free kicks shall be direct (no indirect free kicks)

Procedure:

· Until the ball is kicked into play, all players other than the goalkeeper and kicker shall remain behind an imaginary line that is in line with the ball and parallel to the goal line.
· The goalkeeper shall remain in his penalty area at least 5 m away from the ball.
· The kicker must aim at the goal, with the intention of scoring.
· No other player may touch the ball until it has been touched by the pitch, rebounded from the goal post or crossbar, or has left the pitch.
· If the infringement took place in penalty area (and does not merit a penalty kick), the free kick is to be taken from the 6-m-line on the spot nearest to where the infringement occurred.

Rules of Futsal

Futsal? What does it mean? Football?

Futsal is an indoor version of football (soccer). Its name is derived from the Portuguese futebol de salão and the Spanish fútbol sala/de salón, which can be translated as 'indoor football'.

Futsal is played between two teams of five players, one of whom is the goalkeeper. In addition each team may have a number of substitutes. Unlike some other forms of indoor football, the field is delimited by lines, and not nets or boards that players can use to redirect the ball. Futsal is played with a #3 or #4 ball, which is slightly heavier and smaller than the #5 ball used in football.
