Minifootball
Minifootball is a small-sided variation of association football. Minifootball is played in 5-a-side format, with additional variants of 6-a-side, 7-a-side, 8-a-side, 9-a-side and indoor football. All games are played on artificial turf, in contrast to futsal which is played on a hard court indoors.
Minifootball is open to both professional and amateur players and has grown in popularity globally.
The highest global authority for the 5-a-side format is the World Minifootball Federation. The 6-a-side format is governed by the International Football Federation, while the 7-a-side format is governed by several sub-continental bodies, including the IFA7 and FIF7. The WMF organizes its own World Cup every 2 years, as well as continental championships through established national federations.
