Futsal

Northern NSW Football is delighted to announce the return of futsal to the NNSWF player, coach and match official talented pathways. 

NNSWF has renewed its focus to grow and support futsal in the region as well as streamline the pathway between grassroots and elite competitions. 

In January 2025, NNSWF sent four teams to Football Australia's National Futsal Championships in Melbourne. The tournament welcomed the best players from across Australia to compete and showcase their talent on the national stage. 

 

About Futsal

Futsal is the FIFA-recognised form of small-sided indoor football played between two teams of five players, with a smaller, less bouncy ball.  The smaller court means players must think fast and learn to play in tight spaces.
 
Futsal is a professional sport, included in the Youth Olympics since 2018 and has a FIFA World Cup for male and female players. Australia has men's and women's national teams.
 
NNSWF is committed to growing and supporting futsal in the region and offers player, coach and match official pathways by sending teams to FA's National Futsal Championships.
