Scottish Futsal League

Futsal in Scotland in conjunction with the Scottish Football Association (SFA) and Scottish Amateur Football Association (SAFA) started Scotland's first league in Perth in 1997. Futsal has a long history, having been invented in South America as long ago as the 1930s. Now the game is set to develop in Scotland and the SFA was the first of the four British associations to give official recognition to this five-a-side version of football.

Thousands of players already play five-a-side football in Scotland. But the game has never been put on a formal footing, and rules vary from place to place. Futsal is an internationally recognised sport, governed by FIFA and UEFA, and has only been played in some areas of the country to date.
