Futsal Scoreboard

Futsal is the official FIFA-recognized form of indoor football ⚽️🥅, played on a smaller court than a football pitch, where two teams of five players (including a goalkeeper) compete in a fast-paced, game that emphasizes close control and quick passing. The Wikipedia futsal article is a great source to learn about this indoor five-a-side game. Visit the official FIFA website that runs the world cup.

Scoreboard Setup

This preset uses a countdown timer with two 20-minute halves of stopped playing time (the clock pauses on dead balls). The board tracks each team's score, current half, accumulated team fouls and the one timeout each team may call per half under FIFA Futsal Laws.

Key Rules at a Glance

Accumulated Fouls - After a team commits 5 fouls in a half, every additional foul results in a direct free kick from the 10-metre mark with no wall. This makes foul management a crucial tactical element.

No Offside - Unlike outdoor football, futsal has no offside rule, allowing players to position themselves anywhere on the court.

Kick-ins - Instead of throw-ins, the ball is kicked back into play from the touchline. The kick must be taken within 4 seconds.

Flying Goalkeeper - Teams may substitute their goalkeeper for an outfield player to create a 5v4 advantage, a high-risk tactic commonly used when trailing late in the match.

Run the Board From the Admin Preview

The admin page shows a live preview of the scoreboard with click controls baked into every active section, so a full game can be driven from the preview alone, without going back to the side panel.

Timer - Click the clock on the board to start or stop. The dedicated Start / Pause buttons in the side panel still work for the same actions.

Score - Left-click a team's score to add one. Right-click the same number to subtract one.

Period - Click the period indicator to advance to the next quarter, half or set.

Possession - Click the possession arrow to cycle between none, home and visitor.

Fouls and Timeouts - Left-click to add one, right-click to remove one.

Shot Clock - Left-click resets to the full duration (24 by default), right-click resets to the short value (14 by default).

Anything that reacts to a click turns the cursor into a pointer and brightens on hover, so the interactive zones are obvious without trial and error. Press the Full Screen button on the admin page to hide every panel except the board itself. A small floating toolbar stays pinned at the bottom of the screen with a fullscreen toggle marked F11, zoom out, a reset-zoom button showing the current percentage and the Ctrl -/+ hint, zoom in, and a close button. The same laptop now doubles as the venue display while the operator keeps driving the game through the preview clicks. The site logo at the top left always links back to the home page, so you can jump between match, tournament or standings tools without losing your place.

FAQ

How does the accumulated fouls rule work?

Use the fouls counter for each team. After 5 fouls in a half, the opponent is awarded a direct free kick from the 10-metre mark with no wall - the board keeps the running total visible.

Can I switch the timer to a stop clock?

Yes - pause the timer manually on every dead ball. Top-tier futsal uses an actual stop clock running for 2 × 20 min of pure play.

Can I track the fly goalkeeper substitution?

The board doesn't track lineups, but a fly-keeper substitution doesn't change the score or timer - just watch the play and tap goals as they happen.
