On this day it was the opening game of the F.LEAGUE, held centrally. The match was held at Yoyogi 1st gymnasium. Futsal rules are similar to the ice hockey rules that “time will be paused when playing is paused”, and “players can be changed freely”.

Compared to soccer the number of chances and goals are bigger, watching the game can be enjoyed by beginners as well.

The match was 4-3 Nagoya Oceans winning. It was a very fun match to watch with a “power play” where the GK attacks when the Shonan opens their goals. After the match, both teams make their greetings to the “opponent’s supporters”, an amazing manner of fair play can be seen.

Japan’s futsal is making their developments. There are many more obstacles such as sponsors, and improvements of the environments to face, but just by going to watch their matches is a big help, so please if you have the chance go see their matches.
