With the Olympics going on, it has been a joy to watch in most cases. There are some sports, you question why is this a olympic sport? One sport is being overlooked. Futsal.
Futsal is FIFA's official indoor soccer game which is, essentially, a scaled down version of outdoor soccer played indoors. It is a small sided game (5v5) played on a smaller field (roughly basketball court sized) with a smaller (size 3-4) ball. Futsal is played with touchline boundaries. There are no walls in play. It developes great Soccer skills. The game is fast and very exciting. I think Futsal would be a perfect sport for the Olympics. The world loves Soccer. Futsal is on hard surface, there are no offsides which can result in some beautiful fast breaks. You not only need to have skill, you need speed and good precise strikes.
Futsal would be a perfect sport for the Olympics. The committee needs to take a hard look at some of the current events and take a good look at Futsal. Futsal would be so much better than some of the sports that are featured in the Olympics. The World is missing something that is beautiful, fast and fun to watch. The Futsal World Cup is coming up in Brasil. Starting September 30.
If you need proof Futsal should be part of the Olympics, see video below and more.
