Autumn 2024 5X5

Futsal is a variant of football that is played on a smaller court with five players on each side. A futsal tournament is organized in Larnaka, Cyprus, to promote the sport and encourage participation. The rules of the game are similar to those of regular football, with some differences. For example, the ball is smaller and heavier, the duration of each half is 20 minutes, and there are unlimited substitutions. The tournament will consist of 16 teams divided into four groups, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the knockout stage. The final will be held on the last day of the tournament, with the winner receiving a trophy and a cash prize.
