    England Futsal History

    ENGLAND FUTSAL HISTORY A timeline of the history of futsal, fútbol sala and futebol de salão in England Dr. Daniel Berdejo-del-Fresno & Kevin Bryant with the special collaboration of Geoffrey Payton & Mark Potter INTRODUCTION "Futsal" started on the 8th of September of 1930 when Juan Carlos Ceriani, a teacher in Montevideo (Uruguay) created a version of indoor football for recreation in YMCAs. This new sport was originally developed for playing on basketball courts, and a rule book was published in September 1933. Ceriani's goal was to create a team game that could be played indoor or outdoor but that was similar to football. Ceriani, writing the rule book, took as examples the principles of football (the possibility to touch the ball with every part of the body except for the hands), and he took rules from other sports too: from basketball the number of team players (five) and the game duration (40 actual minutes); from waterpolo the rules about the goalkeeper; from handball for the field and goal sizes. Futsal, fútbol sala and futebol de salão will be covered on this project. Most of the images on this timeline has been hyperlinked to the original source of information. Click on them to learn more about those events. The objective of this research has been three-fold: a) to recognise and acknowledge the people that got involved and helped in this process; b) to document the history and the steps of development that futsal took in England and c) to know the history, to understand the present and improve the future (very similar to Carl Sagan’s quote).

  • Written Evidence Submitted by National Futsal League

    Written Evidence Submitted by National Futsal League

    Written evidence submitted by National Futsal League 15th November 2020 Dear DCMS Committee Members SPORT IN OUR COMMUNITIES: GOVERNANCE OF FUTSAL IN ENGLAND BY THE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION Thank you for providing the National Futsal League (NFL) with an opportunity to submit evidence to your Committee. In this submission we would like to address the first two of the three issues of interest to your inquiry into Sport in our Communities: Are current sports governance models fit for purpose? o At what level of sport should the government consider spending public money? What are the biggest risks to the long-term viability of grassroots sport? o What key measures could the Government introduce to increase the resilience of sports clubs and venues? We do not address the third issue of interest to your inquiry (the extent to which elite professional sports should support the lower leagues and grassroots) because futsal in England is currently played only at grassroots level. We will make the case that the FA’s current governance model for futsal is not fit for purpose. This threatens the long-term viability of what is currently in England a grassroots sport played by amateurs and organised by unpaid volunteers. Background to futsal and the National Futsal League and our reasons for submitting evidence The FA is responsible for several versions of “football”, including futsal, which is the FIFA recognised indoor five-a-side version of football. From 2008-2019 the FA supported the NFL in delivering the top level open-age futsal competition across England. Currently over 17,000 FA-affiliated players of all ages play the sport across the country and it is one of the fastest- growing sports worldwide.
