Arizona Futsal Association

Arizona’s only sanctioned futsal league, the league runs for seven weeks plus playoffs, then starts again; each session has its own championship. The Arizona Futsal Association plays games Saturday or Sunday.  Saturday games may start as early as 8AM and Sunday games usually do not start before 9AM.

Futsal’s referee positioning system works on a simple principle. The referee forms a diagonal with both generally positioned with the second last defender of both teams. Not for the purpose of offside but rather to keep the referee team’s court coverage on play and the majority of players.
