5-a-side Football

5-a-side football is a small-sided variation of traditional football (soccer) played with five players on each team, usually on a smaller, enclosed pitch. The game emphasizes skill, teamwork, and quick decision-making due to the limited space and fewer players. Matches typically last 20-40 minutes, with a focus on fast-paced action and frequent scoring opportunities. It is popular for recreational play and organized leagues, offering a fun and engaging way to enjoy football while promoting physical activity and social interaction. The rules are generally simpler, enhancing accessibility for players of all ages and skill levels.
