Six-a-side football is a fun and exciting variation of the traditional 11-a-side game. This type of football is played with six players on each team and can be enjoyed on various surfaces such as turf or indoor pitches. There are several synonyms for six-a-side football including mini football, small-sided football, futsal, and indoor soccer. Futsal is a form of indoor football played with five players per team, where the focus is on skill, speed, and technique. Mini-football and small-sided football are used interchangeably, and both refer to the reduced number of players on the field. Indoor soccer, as the name suggests, is played exclusively indoors and often features walls around the pitch to keep the ball in play.
