Match Rules
FIFA Futsal rules with modifications designed for intensity, fairness, and entertainment.
MATCH LENGTH
4 quarters of 12 minutes each (48 minutes total). Running clock with stopped clock for the final minute of each quarter.
DISCIPLINE
Yellow card = 2-minute timeout (player returns after). Red card = player ejected, team plays down for 2 minutes, then may substitute.
FLYING GOALKEEPER
If a goalkeeper advances into the opposing half and touches the ball as a 5th attacker, no one on the goalkeeper's team may touch the ball again in their defensive half until possession is lost.
RESTARTS
All restarts are with the feet. Players have 4 seconds to return the ball to play per FIFA rules. On corners, teams may kick in OR throw in with two hands over the head — but the ball cannot be touched by the throwing team inside the arc. Goal clearances follow FIFA rules with no restriction on throwing over half.
TIEBREAKER — NO PENALTIES
If a match ends tied, there are no penalty kicks. Instead, the game continues with escalating intensity:
+ GKs for 1 minute. Last 10 seconds stopped clock.
+ GKs for 1 minute under same rules if still tied.
+ GKs. Sudden death — no clock. Someone wins.
Roster Requirements
