| - Futsal is a pointless variant of indoor football which uses a ball so heavy it requires six men to lift it.
- Futsal, or futsala, is a variant of association football played on a smaller field and mainly indoors. It can be considered a version of five-a-side football. Futsal is played between two teams of five players each, one of whom is the goalkeeper. Unlimited substitutions are permitted. Unlike some other forms of indoor football, the game is played on a hard court surface delimited by lines; walls or boards are not used. Futsal is also played with a smaller ball with less bounce than a regular football due to the surface of the field. The surface, ball and rules create an emphasis on improvisation, creativity, and technique as well as ball control and passing in small spaces.
- Futsal is rather like soccer played on a smaller scale with less people, which alone drastically changes it. (Kazamatsuri Shou notes that it's actually more like basketball.) Futsal first shows up in Whistle! at the beginning of Vol 10. BROTHERHOOD when some members of Sakura Josui goes to scope out Hiba. They find the soccer field empty, but Shou spotted the crowded futsal courts on the way in. They learn the rules in a game (which they lose) against Hiba's defenders, and later Matsushita Souju urges Shou back to the courts and he begins to play there regularly.

Shou meets two characters through futsal who have significant impact on him; Suou Masahiro, a J-leaguer, and Sugama Toshiki, or Suga, who shows up again later as the captain of Kansai Select.
