Futsal is a fast-paced indoor sport that is played with a ball that is smaller and heavier than a traditional soccer ball. The game is played between two teams, each consisting of five players, including a goalkeeper. The objective of the game is to score more goals than the opposing team within the 40-minute time frame. The game is played on a hard court with lines marking the boundaries of the playing area. The basic rules of futsal include no sliding tackles, no offsides, and no throw-ins.
