GENERAL RULES OF FUTSAL

GENERAL RULES

There are 4 field players and a Goal Keeper (GK)

No offside

GK can only handle the ball (by feet or hands) for 4 seconds in their own half. If they are in opponents half, they have no time-handling restrictions.

20 minute halves for tournament and for league play. 3 minutes for half time and each coach may call (1) one-minute time out per half when in possession of the ball. Time out requests are made to the referee.

Substitutions
Free substitutions are made "on the fly". Player can only enter or leave the game in the substitution areas marked by their respective benches, and a player may only enter a game after the player they are replacing has left the field. Failure to do so results in a caution and an indirect free kick is taken from where the ball was situated when the game was stopped to caution the player.
