Players, equipment and officials Of Futsal Sport

Already Familiar with the Sport of Futsal Right? In order to add insight about futsal, here I explain about Players, equipment and officials Of Futsal Sport.

Players

Formally,there are five players on each team, one of whom is the goalkeeper. Accordance with FIFA rules revised in 2012, The maximum number of substitutes allowed is nine, with unlimited substitutions during the match. Substitutes can come on even when the ball is in play but the player coming off must leave the pitch before the substitute can enter the playing field. If a team has fewer than three players in the team, the match is abandoned and counted as a loss for the team with the lack of players. (source from wikipedia).



 Equipment

Usually the kit of futsal is made up of a jersey or shirt with sleeves, shorts, socks, shinguards made out of rubber or plastic, and shoes with rubber soles. The goalkeeper is allowed to wear long trousers and must wear a different coloured kit, to distinguish himself from the other players in the team and the referee. He is also allowed to wear elbow pads because the surface is about as hard as a tennis court or basketball court. Like many other of sports ofcourse Jewellery is not allowed, nor are other items that could be dangerous to the player wearing the item or to other active participants. (source from wikipedia)



Officials

Official vs Player

Like many other games, the match is also controlled by the referee, who enforces the Laws of the Game, and the first referee is the only one who can legally abandon the match because of interference from outside the pitch. This referee is also assisted by a second referee who typically watches over the goal lines or assists the primary referee with calls on fouls or plays. The decisions made by the referees are final and can only be changed if the referees think it is necessary and play has not restarted. There is also a third referee and a timekeeper, who are provided with equipment to keep a record of fouls in the match. In the event of injury to the referee or second referee, the third referee will replace the second referee. (source from wikipedia)
