The Bureau of the FIFA Council approved a new set of rules for Futsal Laws of the Game Any games that were interrupted by COVID-19 will have the opportunity to complete them in accordance with the previous or current Futsal Laws. The updated rules for Futsal Games are finally here! They were released on April 8th, 2020 when the Bureau of the FIFA Council accepted the new Laws. These new rules will reflect the recent law changes in soccer and will shape the 2020-2021 edition and began on June 1st. The next FIFA World Cup will be played in Lithuania 2021 and will be the first World Cup played with the new rules. You can read up on details about this in our last blog post. A big first change that’s stated in the new amendments is that Women’s futsal is no longer a separate category and now has the same status as men’s futsal. Essentially speaking they are no longer a separate category. This is huge in promoting equality and great acknowledgement of women’s futsal. However, a crucial next step for FIFA is to launch a FIFA Women's Futsal World Cup if they completely aim to promote equality. Women's futsal is no longer considered a separate category, which is great news for the acknowledgement of women's futsal, let's hope we can build good things off of this! Our Bahia Professional Futsal Ball is made for a low bounce, which keeps the game close to the ground on courts and hard surfaces. Another new rule is the increase of penalty shootouts, which went from three to five kicks. As well as this, a goalkeeper will be required to have one foot above the goal line during penalty kicks. The referees of the game have been adjusted in order to ensure that they have effective time in order to take action against team officials who conduct themselves inappropriately.

Three Benefits of Beach Soccer
Summer is here and it's perfect time to get outdoors and work on your soccer skills. Playing beach soccer is a great way to help increase your technique, decision making with the ball, creativity, and cardiovascular aspects endurance. Running through the sand demands more resistance from your quads and hamstrings - while playing in the sand your legs will sink in, this requires you to pull your legs out of the sand and push against it in order to move out. This cross-training is a great way for preparing for an upcoming soccer season. Because the field is small and you play with fewer players, the sand makes the games more intense because the ball bounces differently than on a soccer field or in futsal where most of the time the ball is in the air. This means that the players have to be really skillful and fit to do different types of stunts. Jen Munoz (@jenmunoz1) is a player for the Guatemala Women's Nation Team and does a front kick in Oceanside This cross training is a great way for preparing for an upcoming soccer season. Many professional soccer players who are coming back from an injury and are recovery, play in the sand in order to strengthen up there muscles as quickly as possible. As well as this, beach soccer helps your joints and articulations, which is why it is so helpful to cover faster from an injury. Beach Soccer is a quick and intense game. You will likely only have a small window of opportunity which leaves you with a split second to react. Your speed will be continuously tested and as well as your technique. Because of this, players have to practice a lot of different scenarios that could happen in a game. In most soccer games, the ball is primarily in the air, players have to be ready to change direction, jump or even run fast on sand than on a normal field. Sand makes the game harder but also more fun to do skills like rainbows, bicycle kicks, or volleys to score. Brian Easler (@easlerbrian) is the founder of Beach Soccer LA and is seen here using the Playa Beach Soccer Ball in Oceanside Often times in beach soccer you will find yourself in different scenarios. You aren’t just playing on the sand, the water, sun, wind, and un-even surfaces come into play. You will be forced to respond to a different situation one that will help you when you're on the field. Playing beach soccer gives you a lot of field awareness as it is a very tactical sport and comes down to a lot of decision making because the bouncing of the ball can change the direction of the ball. I encourage you in your free time to try beach soccer as it’s a challenging but fun and helpful game that can help your overall performance in soccer.

They defeated second place, Brazil, during the finals in a 3-1 comeback win. The Argentina squad showcased 9 veterans from the 2016 World Cup, and goals were scored by Cristian Borruto, Constantino Vaporaki, and Pablo Taborda. Argentina’s national team goalkeeper and teammate were photographed by Ignacio wearing the USHUAIA PRO futsal shoes. Goalkeeper Lucas Farach and Ala Santiago Basile Despite Brazil’s loss in the final they still had an impressive road to the championship. They racked up 24 goals in five wins and zero goals scored against, making this team a serious contender for the 2020 World Futsal Cup. Third place was taken by Paraguay who had an impressive 2-6 win over fourth-place Venezuela. Paraguay’s road to the third-place play-off game came after an impressive showing in the group stage.
