How are indoor footballs different?

Indoor footballs are specifically designed for hard indoor surfaces.

Unlike traditional footballs, they typically have reduced bounce and are made from softer materials like foam or felt to limit noise and surface damage.

Whether you're playing futsal or using sponge footballs for kids, indoor balls provide better control and a safer playing experience indoors.

Are indoor footballs smaller than regular footballs?

Some indoor footballs are smaller than standard size 5 balls, especially sponge or foam balls designed for younger players. Futsal balls, for example, are often size 4 but heavier, reducing bounce and allowing better ball control in tight spaces.

Decathlon offers indoor footballs in a variety of sizes to suit all ages and skill levels.

Is an indoor football different to a futsal ball?

Yes, futsal balls and general indoor footballs serve different purposes.

Futsal balls are heavier and smaller than traditional footballs to support low-bounce play in fast-paced 5-a-side matches.

Other indoor footballs, like felt or foam options, are better suited for recreational use, younger players, or quieter play in sports halls and indoor settings.
