What U S Futsal Inc does

U.S. Futsal Inc, operating as the United States Futsal Federation (USFF), is the recognized governing body for futsal in the United States. Founded in 1981 and incorporated in California in 1983, the non-profit federation introduced the sport to the U.S., coined the term 'Futsal' in 1986 (trademarked in 1989), and has governed futsal at youth, adult, and professional levels for over four decades. It is a member of U.S. Soccer since 1988 and affiliated with FIFA through the International Futsal Alliance.

The federation's core offerings include the National Championship (held annually since 1985), eight Regional Championships across NorthEast, NorthWest, NorthCentral, MidWest, SouthCentral, SouthEast, SouthWest, and Cal North regions, and national select teams (Men's Select, Women's, U14, U17, U16) competing internationally. Its technology stack relies on the GotSport integrated platform for player, coach, and referee registrations and competition scheduling under a five-year partnership; SafeSport-compliant online training; and webinar-based coaching education, including content delivered with FC Barcelona's futsal division.

U.S. Futsal generates revenue primarily through annual membership dues collected via 50 state Futsal associations ($9-$20 per player/coach/referee depending on state and category), tournament entry fees (e.g., $400 per team for the Cal North State Cup), state association affiliation fees, and 12 yearly clinics for coaching and player development. Recent commercial partnerships include Capelli Sport as Official Referee Apparel and Equipment Supplier (2025 four-year deal). The organization serves approximately 110,000+ registered players, with 90% youth composition, and maintains a presence in all 50 states plus a growing international footprint through IFA World Championship participation.

Others

• Kwik Goal: Leading U.S. supplier of soccer and futsal goals, equipment, and field infrastructure. Adjacent ecosystem participant that supplies the equipment USFF's competitions rely on, but is a commercial vendor rather than a competing federation.
• Boys & Girls Club of America: 1.27M-member youth organization that adopted futsal as an Olympic Focus Sport in 1986 across 1,100 clubs. Functions as a distribution partner and venue network for USFF rather than a competitor, but is comparable in its nonprofit, mission-driven, membership-based structure.

Broad incumbents

• USA Volleyball: National governing body for volleyball with regional associations, national championships, and athlete development pathways. Comparable structure to USFF as a U.S. national sports federation with tiered competition and youth/adult programming.
• NCAA: U.S. collegiate athletics governing body and amateur sports federation. Comparable as a national amateur sports organizing body with championship structures, but operates at the collegiate level with vastly larger commercial footprint.
• U.S. Soccer Federation: National governing body for soccer in the U.S. and USFF's parent affiliate since 1988. Comparable as a sports federation, but operates at vastly larger scale across outdoor soccer, with overlapping youth development, referee, and coaching ecosystems that futsal feeds into.

Regional players

• Major Arena Soccer League (MASL): Top professional indoor soccer league in North America. Competes for indoor soccer players, sponsors, and venue relationships in the U.S., but operates at the professional tier whereas USFF is grassroots and amateur-driven.
• Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) - Futsal Division: Spanish futsal governing body embedded in the national soccer federation. Comparable as a futsal federation structure, but operates in a market where futsal is a top-tier professional sport, providing an aspirational model for U.S. commercial scale.
• Confederação Brasileira de Futebol de Salão (CBFS): Brazilian futsal federation, the historical home of the sport and where the term originated. Comparable as a national futsal governing body with international team participation, but operates in a market with far deeper futsal cultural penetration.

Direct peers

• US Youth Soccer (USYS): U.S. youth soccer governing body and USFF partner since 1995. Operates a parallel 55+ state association structure with member registration, leagues, and national championships; the most direct peer in governance, dues-based membership, and tournament operations.
• American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO): 350,000-member youth soccer organization and USFF associate member since 1986. Comparable as a membership-based youth soccer federation with regional structure, but focused on outdoor play rather than futsal-specific competition.
