The organizer for futsal is FERC. If you have any queries for the convenor please go to the Contact us page.Rules
Each side for each game will field a maximum of five players and a goal-keeper.
The aim of the game is to cause the ball to go into the opposing side's goal posts.
Goals can be scored from anywhere in the court, by any player in any position.
Every time a ball enters a goal, one goal point will be awarded to the side whose goal was not entered.
Only the goal-keeper may use his/her arms or hands to contact the ball. All other players may use any part of the body except arms and hands to contact and play the ball.
All players must wear a shirt or jersey of their team color.
The goal-keeper may use gloves (self-provided).
Only shoes are allowed. No soccer boots may be used.
When a ball goes out of play, a kick-in will be awarded to the side whose player is not the last to be in contact with the ball before it goes out of play. The kick-in must be effected within 5 seconds of the referee's whistle.
Only one opponent and one defender are allowed in the semi-circle at any one time.
Any foul in the semi-circle will result in a penalty kick against the offending team. The referee will judge what constitues a foul.
Substitution is allowed at any time as long as the team composition requirements are maintained. There is no need to inform the referee.
There will be no extra time and no injury time.
The referee will have sole and final discretion on:
- What constitutes an infringement in addition to those covered in these rules
- What penalties to be awarded for any infringements
- Any decision to manage any uneventuality at hand.
