What is Futebol de Salão
Futebol de Salão is the original Brazilian version of futsal. It’s an insanely fast, tightly compressed and highly pressurized version of 5 a side football. The game creates up to 600% more touches and served as Brazil’s “laboratory of improvisation”.
Futebol de Salão
A unique and central aspect of our programme is Futebol de Salão, the original Brazilian version of futsal.
Futebol de Salão is played on a pitch the size of a basketball court with a smaller (size 2), heavier (465g) ball that has virtually no bounce (10%).
As explained by Emilio Miranda from the University of São Paulo this version of the game creates up to 600% more touches and served as Brazil’s “laboratory of improvisation”.
The result is an insanely fast, tightly compressed and highly pressurized environment of 5 a side football in which the core moves and skills within the syllabus can be trialed in a game environment.

UKCFDS & Futebol de Salão
We believe players who train with Futebol de Salão gain a major advantage over those who don’t.
In 1996, we set about creating our training programme for young players – Brazilian Soccer Schools.
The principles of Futebol de Salão are at the core of the programme.
A Brazilian Soccer Schools player who has completed all training stages enjoys the game, displays technical skills on various levels of football craftsmanship, is able to make informed and effective decisions on the field.
They are mentally prepared for tackling complex, tactical problems and ready for competing in the next stages of their sports development.
Our programme is unique. There is nothing else quite like it.
That’s why so many of our alumni who have gone on to play the game professionally credit Brazilian Football Schools with having a major influence on their success.
