Futsal Refereeing Is Tougher, Says Matsuzaki |
| Wed 17-Feb-2010 11:28 |
|
FIFA and AFC Futsal Referees Instructor Yasuhiro Matsuzaki has negated the common belief that officiating the shorter version of the game is easier compared to football.
“The futsal pitch is smaller and the playing time is also shorter but it doesn’t mean it’s easy to play or officiate this game,” the 56-year-old told www.the-afc.com on the sidelines of AFC Elite Education Seminar.
“Futsal referees need agility, run almost like 80 minutes and have to make decisions in a split second as the game flows so fast.
“The pressure on a futsal referee is sometimes bigger than their counterparts in football,” the former FIFA assistant referee and a futsal referee said.
Matsuzaki felt that both the versions of the game have similarities except the rules and playing time.
“Futsal referees also need to be fit but we concentrate more on short sprints and reaction exercises as you have to be at the top of your fitness and stamina levels.”
“Football referees cannot take futsal for granted. They cannot think of officiating fusal games after retirement because in that age, despite having stamina and fitness, the referees lose their agility.”
Matsuzaki praised AFC for introducing the AFC Futsal Club Championship from this year while saying he would like to see more people taking up futsal refereeing.
“More countries are actively playing futsal but the number of referees is not growing. I hope more regional futsal tournaments will come up in the future and it will generate interest to take up futsal refereeing,” he added.

Futsal Is The Base For Football - Asian Football Confederation |
| Thu 04-Feb-2010 23:49 |
AFC Deputy General Secretary Hassan Al Sabah has hailed the increasing importance of futsal in modern day football.
Al Sabah said futsal was the "base" for enhancing one's football skills.
"Futsal is a small side game and requires you to have good individual skills,” he said while inaugurating the AFC Elite Futsal Referee Instructors Course on Wednesday.
“Therefore, I see futsal as a base for football. If you can develop your skills well on the futsal pitch, then it will be easier when it comes to the bigger version of the game," he said.
"Futsal is getting more and more popular now and AFC is also actively promoting this game."
The three-day course will end on Friday. Instructors for the course are Spanish Pedro Galan Nieto and Japanese Yasuhiro Matsuzaki, both are from FIFA.
A total of nine participants are attending the course.
