About us
Simply said, futsal is a fast-paced, indoor version of football (Fútbol Sala). Originally from South America, Futsal has produced many of the great South American modern footballers who started out on the indoor courts, such as Neymar, Coutinho, Ronaldinho, and more.
Futsal has a few major differences with the original sport: five people per team including the keeper, smaller and squarer goals, a smaller and heavier ball, two 20-minute halves per game, and no offside. Because there are only 5 players per team, games are usually much more intense and require a lot of strategy. Wonder what Futsal looks like?

This is the 11th year of the LSE Futsal Club, having participated every year in the BUCS league where we played against other universities such as Imperial College, UCL, KCL, Queen's Mary, and more. We strive to build three really competitive men's teams with each one having a training session in midweek and then a league match on Sunday. For the more casual players, our social session will be run on Sundays.
New since the 22/23 season, our home pitch and training facility will be inside the new Marshall Building on LSE Campus, meaning less travelling and more playing!
