Futsal facilities have cured problems for players like lack of playing areas, shortage of tournaments that plagues Nepali football. On a given day over 1000 Nepalese are found playing at futsal which by extrapolation results in 365,000 Nepalese in a year. At futsal there are majority of futsal players who would not be active in any form of football. The impact made by abundant futsal facility in Nepal have also prompted a major international youth football development program to make inquiries about expanding their business into Nepal.

Dozens more futsal facilities are on the verge of getting built across the country. This is due to interest in the game along with strong occupancy, profitability and football lovers and madness to win the game. In Nepal, playing futsal at different price has been made possible by many futsal arranged in Nepal. Futsal has built co-operation and integrated the concept of house game.

There are many mental and health benefits by playing at futsal: On a test carried out on 47 men it turned out that playing football was smartest move. Those who played saw their blood pressure fall by an average of twice as much than those who decided to run. Besides, cholesterol level fell in soccer groups more than the running groups. Bone density increased twice as much playing soccer as in running. Futsal exercise increase heart rate. Increased heart rate associated with increase flow of blood and oxygen in the body. This means your energy level will flow significantly. If you are saturated with office work and business makes you stressed then you ought to play at futsal. It brings cohesiveness and unity and will re-raise your spirits. You burn so many calories and fat due to which you can stay fit and healthy. The research of Professor Peter Krustrup's evidenced that men and women playing soccer experienced an overall high level of flow during the experiment which meant they reached an optimal stage which happens when you are fully immersed in a challenging task. You are fully focused, engaged, motivated and happy in whatever activity you are doing. One study showed that men who played football reported far less worries than those who went jogging. Soccer enhanced motivation more in women who took this game than the men who were stuck in running. Small side games (5-a-side) including futsal led to more high intensity movements than full 11-a-side game.

Futsal support young player development in other ways. The speed and fluidity of the game supports players in understanding and improving their skill in transition phase i.e. counterattacking. Teams are either defending a counter attack or launching one after breaking down their opponents and this skill is a vital component for young players to understand and apply.
