Terminology and Understanding
[edit]Socca is a short term from the International Socca Federation, which is abbreviated as ISF. The global governing body of small-sided football [5]. ISF differs from minifootball as they organise, manage, and host 5-, 6-, and 7-a-side international club and national tournaments and competitions. Its understood that Socca is intermediate between amateur football, [[small-sided football], and futsal in terms of field dimensions and number of players per side, players from all of these codes have been selected for national ISF team competitions.[3]
Matches are played in 2 halves of 20 (sometimes 25) minutes each. Teams consist of a goalkeeper and five outfield players.[6][7][8]
Matches are played on both natural and synthetic turf. The size of the field is 30x50 m, the size of the goal is 2x5 m.[9][10][11]
Competitions
[edit]
The primary competition for national socca teams is the Socca World Cup. For clubs, the corresponding competition is the Socca Champions League, which has been held annually in Rethymno in 2024 and 2025 and will be held again there in 2026.[12] Regional competitions also exist, such as the Socca EuroCup, the Socca Gulf Cup,[13] and the Socca Americup.
