Futsal Betting Sites at MansionBet

Futsal is a five-a-side football game that originated in Uruguay in 1930. It’s a scaled-back version of soccer, played on a hard surface roughly the same size as a basketball court and with a smaller ball. The action is fast and furious. The players are highly skilled.

The sport is sanctioned by FIFA and is hugely popular in Brazil, Argentina and Spain, where it is often credited with helping players develop better skills and technique.

At MansionBet UK, we information about where to be on all the major futsal tournaments, competitions and matches, including the FIFA Futsal World Cup.

Futsal is the perfect game for a punt. Each game consists of two 20 minute halves, with time stopping at every dead ball

Unlike other forms of indoor soccer, where you can rebound balls off the surrounding walls, the skill sets used in Futsal exactly match those of its bigger brother.

At MansionBet, we show you the best places to bet on this fast-paced sport. Here is a small selection of the betting options available online.

• Outright Match/Tournament Bets: If you think you know which team will win, make that outright bet today. An outright bet is a wager on the final outcome - the team that is going to win a game or tournament. Often made months in advance, outright bets are the long shots that surprise. Just ask any Leicester City fan who made an outright bet on the Premier League winners in 2015/16.
• Live In-play Betting: With its fast-paced rate of play and fact that the clock stops when play stops, Futsal is just perfect for a little live in-play betting. If you want to turn up the heat on the action, simply visit in-play betting portals, pick your match and bet on some winners.
• Over/Under Goal Bets: Although Futsal is a much shorter game, with a smaller goal and less players, more than twice as many goals are scored than in a typical soccer match. The average number of goals scored is 6.5 which makes over/under goals betting a very exciting option. All you have to do is predict whether the total number of goals scored will be higher or lower than predetermined value.

Although less well known than its bigger cousin, Futsal has a wide range of tournaments, championships and competitions. MansionBet shows you the best places to bet on this thrilling sport.

Futsal has two key governing bodies - the Asociación Mundial de Fútsal (AMF) and Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA).

The International Futsal Alliance (IFA) also offers high quality futsal tournaments around the world. Here are some of the key Futsal events.

FIFA FUTSAL WORLD CUP

First held in 1989, the FIFA Futsal World Cup is the pinnacle of the sport that features the world’s best internatioanl futsal teams. Held every four years, 24 teams compete for the highly coveted trophy.

The competition is organised by FIFA and adopts the standard format of group round-robin matches, with the two top teams from each group entering the knockout stage.

UEFA FUTSAL CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

Organised by UEFA, the Futsal Champions League is an annual competition for the best club teams in Europe.

The competition was founded in 2001 to replace the Futsal European Club Championship. The competition usually takes place between August and November and more than 50 teams fight their way to a final four knockout stage.

UEFA FUTSAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Futsal once again emulates soccer with the UEFA Futsal Championship. The competition is the equivalent of the European Championship, bringing together the best Futsal nations in Europe.

Up until 2018, the event was bi-annual. It will now be held every four years with 16 qualifying teams. Spain are generally the team to beat having been multiple winners of the tournament.

UEFA WOMEN’S FUTSAL CHAMPIONSHIP 

The first ever UEFA European Women's Futsal Championship was held in February 2019 and was won by Spain in Portugal.

Twenty-three national teams entered the tournament’s qualifying stage. This was whittled down to a final four and was hugely exciting to watch.

WOMEN’S FUTSAL WORLD TOURNAMENT

Only slightly older than its European spin-off, the FIFA Women’s Futsal World Tournament kicked off in 2010. The event takes place every four years.

Brazil have been the dominant force, but with more women taking up Futsal their supremacy may be challanged in the future.
