Description
Futsal is a fast-paced, skill-focused version of football played indoors on a smaller court with five players per side. The game emphasizes quick thinking, close ball control, and sharp passing, making every second on the court intense and exciting. With a smaller, heavier ball and no walls, it’s a true test of technique and teamwork.
Our Women's Futsal team welcomes players of all abilities — from those who’ve played football all their lives to newcomers eager to learn. It’s a fantastic way to improve your fitness, sharpen your skills, and be part of a friendly, competitive squad. We train regularly, compete in student tournaments, and always have plenty of fun off the court too! Join us and experience a sport that’s fast, fun, and full of community spirit.

About Us
LJMU Women’s Futsal is a close-knit and fast-growing club built around one of the most exciting and dynamic sports out there. Futsal is a five-a-side style of football that’s fast-paced, skill-driven, and incredibly fun to play. Originating in South America, it’s the game that helped shape some of football’s greatest players—and now it’s here at LJMU for you to get involved, no matter your experience level. We compete in BUCS and are proud to represent LJMU against other universities across the North. But more than that, we’re a team that supports each other both on and off the court. Whether you’re looking to build your skills, improve your fitness, or just be part of a welcoming group, you’ll find your place here.
Key Information
We train every Thursday evening from 7:30 to 9:00 pm in the LJMU Sports Building, with our season kicking off on October 3rd. Fixtures are staggered throughout the year, with home games hosted in a tournament-style format right here at LJMU, and away games held at other universities across the North—transport is always provided. Socials are a big part of what makes this club special. Every Wednesday night, we head out together in fancy dress, meet up with other LJMU sports teams, and create memories that last long after the season ends. For those who prefer a more relaxed vibe, we’re also introducing chilled, sober socials so everyone can feel included and enjoy themselves.
Why Us?
If you’re passionate about football or just curious to try something new, this is the perfect space to grow, connect, and have fun. Most of our team had never played futsal before joining, so don’t worry if you’re starting fresh—you won’t be alone. The game is easy to learn, fast to fall in love with, and a great way to build confidence in a supportive environment. You don’t have to choose between futsal and other sports either—our fixtures don’t fall on Wednesdays, so there’s room to get involved with other clubs too. Whether you're looking to push yourself athletically or simply want to be part of something fun and meaningful during your time at uni, this is your chance to join a team that feels like a family. We’re building something special this season—and we’d love for you to be a part of it.
