About the SportFutbol Salon (FUTSAL) originated in 1930 after Uruguay won the World Cup and the soccer gold medal in the Olympics. Juan Carlos Ceriani, an Argentinean physical education instructor living in Uruguay at the time put together the rules of the newly found game based on the rules of water polo, handball and basketball. FUTSAL is extremely fast paced, played on a court similar to basketball size and is 5v5 players. With a smaller sized ball which bounces a lot less than the official soccer size ball.
