The Stars of Futsal
I wanted to share with you the top players futsal has in the world.
I wanted to give a little information about each player so hopefully they can be a great role model for young futsal players.
Every futsal club has promoted futsal by stating that all the great football players have played futsal at a young level, Pele, Messi, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Neymar and many more.
This is fantastic for Football but I want to share with you the players that solely play futsal at the highest level.
This is because if a young player boy or girl wants to choose futsal over football they must have futsal role models to follow and this may give them the desire to follow in their footsteps.
