What Equipment Do I Need to Play Futsal?

To play futsal you need flat-soled indoor shoes, shin guards, a size 4 low-bounce futsal ball, and a team jersey with shorts. Goalkeepers wear a different-coloured jersey.

1. Futsal Jerseys & Uniform

Futsal teams play in numbered jerseys, with goalkeepers in a contrasting colour. We make sublimated futsal jerseys and shorts with names and numbers included. For outdoor soccer, see our soccer equipment list.

Still need a team name? See our futsal team names.

2. Futsal Ball

A futsal ball is a size 4 with a low bounce, so it stays on the floor for close control.

3. Indoor Shoes

Flat gum-rubber soles grip the gym floor. Cleats and turf shoes aren't allowed.

4. Shin Guards

Required in futsal just like outdoor soccer.

FAQ

Is a futsal ball different from a soccer ball?

Yes. It's smaller (size 4) and much less bouncy, which suits a hard indoor floor.

Conclusion

Futsal needs very little equipment. We recommend starting with flat indoor shoes, shin guards, a size 4 futsal ball and matching team jerseys and shorts.
