Futsal is the only form of indoor soccer endorsed by FIFA. This is the game that many outdoor soccer players around the globe grew up playing (Neymar, Marta, Messi, Ronaldinho, Iniesta, etc.). They constantly mention Futsal as the main reason for their enhanced decision making, ball control and speed of play.
