There is much kind of sports around this world, such as football, badminton, rugby and so on. What I’m going to describe is about two different sports which are popular among the Bruneians and all over the world. I’m going to describe about the similarities and the differences between football and futsal. Football has been played for hundred years or thousands. But futsal is a new sport which was introduced few years ago. Both sports are similar but there are some differences in regulation and where it is played.
Firstly, I’m going to state the similarities between football and futsal. Both of them are team sports. They are played in teams against other teams. Football is an outdoor game, while futsal is an indoor game. Both games use a ball, although the size is different. In contrast, a soccer ball is more bouncy and big. While a futsal ball is smaller than soccer ball and less bounce. The other similarity is players can be replaced by substitutes. In football they only allowed 3 substitutions. In futsal, there are no limitations of subs. The regulation between the two sports is exactly similar.
Although they are almost similar, but there are also differences. In contrast, football is played on grass pitches and only 11 players are allowed to play in one team. While in futsal, it is played in a hall and only 5 players are allowed to play. Another difference is there is only one referee in football while in futsal they are two referees beside the line. The size of the pitches are also different, futsal is smaller than football pitches. Football plays for 90 minutes and there is half time after 45minutes whereas futsal plays for 40 minutes and there is a half time after 20 minutes.
In brief we can see that both sports give a player chance to develop their own skills and physics. It’s important for a player to have a self discipline and teamwork in both sports. Now football and futsal became more popular in this region.
