The FA is launching a series of indoor adult Futsal leagues across the country to encourage more players and teams to play this format of five-a-side football.

Futsal has been responsible for launching the careers of world renowned football stars such as pele, Luis Figo, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Robinho and Roberto Carlos.

Of these, World Cup winner Pele has said: "Futsal was important in helping to develop my ball control, quick thinking, passing, dribbling, balance, concentration - it was very, very important."

Mark Harrod has long been a supporter of futsal in the UK and has been supplying clubs across the county with equipment for many years.

Some of the company's high profile contracts have included supplying the 2010 blind futsal world cup, many Futsaluk centres and recently the FA futsal start up leagues in Paignton, Liverpool, Northampton, Hertfordshire and Middlesex.
