Futsal Score Counter
A futsal score counter keeps each team’s goals with the minute, and the number that decides futsal: accumulated fouls in each half. This one resets them at half-time, carries them into extra time, calls the sixth a 10 m kick with no wall, allows one timeout per half and times a red card’s two minutes.

Team A 0–0 Team B, Before kick-off
Tap Kick off when the referee starts the 1st half. If it is level at the end: a draw.
If it ended now: Team A 1, Team B 1.
Futsal Laws 2025-26: halves of 20 min, stopped clock; 6th foul a 10 m kick; penalty-kick fouls not counted
| Team | Goals | Fouls, 1st half | Fouls, 2nd half and ET | Timeouts | Yellow | Sent off |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Team A | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Team B | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Minute | Team | What |
|---|---|---|
| Nothing yet: goals, fouls, timeouts and cards appear here with the minute. | ||
Tap Kick off at the referee’s whistle. Tap Foul under the team that committed it for every foul given as a direct free kick, and Penalty-kick foul when the foul gives a penalty instead. A goal, a foul and a timeout stop the clock by themselves; tap Restart clock when play restarts, and Stop clock for anything else the timekeeper stops it for. Type a shirt number first to attach it; a second yellow for the same number is a sending-off. Ctrl+Z undoes.
This keeps the score, the clock, the fouls, the timeouts and the players on the pitch; it does not referee. Its clock is the one you run, not the timekeeper’s, and a two-minute reduction counts only while it runs. It does not decide which offence is a foul, where a 10 m kick is taken from, or video support challenges, and it does not track the four-second restarts, substitutes or cards to team officials. Built for futsal under the FIFA Futsal Laws; beach soccer and eleven-a-side have rules of their own. It is not an official match report.
The goals are the easy part. A futsal scoreboard also has to know that fouls start again at half-time but not for extra time, that since 2025-26 a penalty kick no longer adds one, that a timeout unused in the first half is gone, and which goal brings a sent-off team back to five. This counter does.
Futsal is five-a-side football played on a court under FIFA’s Futsal Laws of the Game, in two halves of 20 minutes of playing time. An accumulated foul is any foul penalised with a direct free kick, counted per team in each half; from the sixth, each gives the opponents a direct free kick from the 10 m mark with no wall.

How to keep score in futsal with the counter
Set the match up once, then tap what the referees give.
Set the match up
Half length, a stopped or running clock, what happens if it is level, and the rules edition if your competition has not moved to 2025-26.
Tap Kick off
When the referee starts each half. The clock counts down and stamps every goal, foul and card with its minute.
Tap every foul
Foul for each direct free kick, under the team that committed it; Penalty-kick foul when it is a penalty. The panel shows the count, and the fifth and sixth are called out.
Restart the clock
A goal, a foul and a timeout stop it. Tap Restart clock when play restarts, and Stop clock for any other stoppage.
Tap cards and timeouts
A red card starts a two-minute reduction shown beside the players on the pitch; a goal by the team with more players can end it early.
End each half
Tap End when the timekeeper signals. At the end the counter gives the result, extra time or penalties, and the table points.
Where a futsal score counter gets used
Any futsal court with no electronic board, and any bench that needs the foul count right.
Futsal leagues and five-a-side nights
The score, the scorers and both teams’ fouls, kept by whoever is on the bench.
Coaches
How close the team is to the fifth foul, and whether the timeout has gone, without asking the table.
Youth futsal
Shorter halves and a running clock, with the foul count that young players most often forget.
Timekeepers and table officials
A second record of fouls, timeouts and reductions to check against the official one.
Watching on TV or streams
Whether a team is on five fouls, and when a sent-off side comes back to five.
PE lessons
Why futsal counts team fouls, and why a red card does not mean four players for the rest of the game.
Futsal accumulated fouls: the sixth, the reset, and the 2025-26 change
Futsal keeps a count no other kind of football keeps. Every foul a team commits that is penalised with a direct free kick is an accumulated foul, and the count is kept for each team in each period (Law 13.4). The first five are ordinary free kicks. From the sixth, every one gives the opponents a direct free kick from the 10 m mark with no wall (Law 13.5). That is why the foul count, not the score, is the number a futsal bench watches.
| Team’s accumulated foul | What the opponents get | Wall? | Advantage? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st to 4th | A direct free kick where the foul was | Yes, 5 m away | May be played |
| 5th | A direct free kick; the timekeeper signals the fifth | Yes | May be played |
| 6th and every one after | A direct free kick from the 10 m mark, or from the spot of the foul if it was between the 10 m line and the goal line | No: only the goalkeeper, 5 m from the ball | Only for a goalscoring chance |
| Any foul in the offender’s penalty area | A penalty kick from 6 m | No | — |
Source: FIFA Futsal Laws of the Game 2025-26, Law 13.4 and 13.5, and the Interpretation and Recommendations on advantage. Every change in that edition is listed in the futsal rule changes guide. The 10 m kick must be an attempt to score directly, and if one is awarded as a period runs out, the period lasts until the kick is completed (Law 7.2).
What changed in 2025-26: a penalty kick is no longer an accumulated foul
The 2025-26 Laws, effective from 5 September 2025, end Law 12.1 with a new sentence: “All of the offences listed in this section count as accumulated fouls; however, no accumulated foul is recorded when a penalty kick is awarded.” Law 13.4 lost the words “or penalty kick” from its definition at the same time. Until then, a foul in your own penalty area cost a penalty and moved you a step closer to the sixth. Now it costs only the penalty.
Much of what ranks for the rule has not caught up. FIFA’s own explainer, “The rules of futsal explained”, published in 2018, still says “a count is kept of fouls penalised with a direct free-kick or penalty kick”, and The FA’s online Law 13 page, checked on 2026-10-08, still lists accumulated fouls as “those penalised with a direct free kick or penalty kick”. The counter has a separate Penalty-kick foul key for exactly this, and a Rules setting for a competition still playing the old way.
| Foul by Team A | Before 2025-26 | 2025-26 Laws |
|---|---|---|
| Four direct free kicks | 4 | 4 |
| A trip in their own penalty area | 5, and a penalty | 4, and a penalty |
| A push in midfield | 6: a 10 m kick, no wall | 5: a free kick, wall allowed |
| A late tackle | 7: a 10 m kick | 6: a 10 m kick |
When the count starts again, and when it does not
Accumulated fouls go back to zero at the start of the second half. They do not go back to zero for extra time: “If extra time is played, accumulated fouls from the second period of the match continue to count during extra time” (Law 13.4). A team on four fouls at the end of the second half starts extra time one foul from the fifth. Of the free futsal scoreboards at the top of a search, checked on 2026-10-08, KeepTheScore’s guide says fouls reset at half-time and says nothing about extra time, and ScoreCounter.com’s rules panel counts fouls “in a half” with no word on extra time either. The counter resets at half-time and carries the count into extra time by itself, and its summary table keeps the first-half count beside the second half and extra time.
Not every offence counts. An indirect free kick, for a goalkeeper holding the ball over four seconds in their own half, for dangerous play without contact or for dissent, is not an accumulated foul. A foul by a substitute, team official or sent-off player who comes on and interferes is, unless it gives a penalty kick (Law 3.9).
Red cards: two minutes a player short, and the goal that ends it
In eleven-a-side football a player sent off is never replaced. In futsal the team plays one short for two minutes of playing time, and then a substitute may come on with the timekeeper’s or third referee’s permission (Law 3.8). The sent-off player takes no further part. What makes it hard to keep by hand is that a goal can end the two minutes early, but only the right goal.
| On the pitch | Who scores | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 5 against 4, or 4 against 3 | The team with more players | The team with fewer may add one player at once |
| 5 against 3 | The team with five | The team with three may add one player only, and plays with four until its other reduction ends |
| 4 against 4, or 3 against 3 | Either team | Neither adds a player until its own two minutes are up |
| Any, when the short team scores | The team with fewer players | No change; the reduction runs on, unless the other team then scores |
The two minutes are playing time, so they stop whenever the clock stops, for a goal, a foul, a timeout or half-time. A red card at 19:30 of the first half leaves the team short for the first 1:30 of the second. A player sent off during the half-time interval, or before either period of extra time, means the team starts the next period one short. The counter keeps one timer per sending-off, shows the time left beside the players on the pitch, and when a goal ends a reduction it ends the one closest to finishing and logs the player coming back.
| Playing time | Event | Team A on the pitch | Team B on the pitch |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12:00 | Red card, Team A #4 | 4 (back at 14:00) | 5 |
| 12:40 | Red card, Team A #9 | 3 (back at 14:00 and 14:40) | 5 |
| 13:10 | Goal, Team B, five against three | 4: one back now, the other at 14:40 | 5 |
| 13:50 | Goal, Team A, four against five | 4: no change | 5 |
| 14:40 | The second reduction ends | 5 | 5 |
The three-player minimum
“A match may not start or resume if either team has fewer than three players” (Law 3.1), goalkeeper included. Three sendings-off for one team inside two minutes would leave two, and the match cannot go on; the counter ends it there as abandoned and leaves the result to the competition. Two yellow cards for the same player in one match are a sending-off like a red, and the counter turns a second yellow for the same shirt number into one.
The clock, timeouts and extra time, and how futsal differs from football
A futsal match is two periods of 20 minutes of playing time (Law 7.1). Playing time means the clock runs only while the ball is in play: “the timekeeper stops the chronometer when the ball goes out of play or play is stopped for any other reason.” There is no added time, and a period ends at the timekeeper’s signal, except that a 10 m kick or a penalty awarded as time runs out is completed first. Many amateur and youth leagues play a running clock instead; the counter’s Clock setting does either.
| Part of the match | Length | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Each half | 20 minutes of playing time | Law 7.1; shorter only if the competition allows |
| Half-time interval | Up to 15 minutes | Law 7.4 |
| Timeout | 1 minute, one per team in each half | Law 7.3; not carried over |
| Extra time | Two periods, each no more than 5 minutes | Law 10.2; no interval, ends change |
| Timeouts in extra time | None | Law 7.3 |
| Penalties | Five each, then sudden death | Law 10.3; not part of the match |
Timeouts
Each team may take one one-minute timeout in each half. A team official asks the third referee or timekeeper, and it is granted when the ball is out of play and the team asking has the restart. One not used in the first half is lost: “A team that does not request a timeout in the first period of the match is still only entitled to one timeout during the second period.” There are none in extra time. The counter disables a team’s Timeout key once it is used, gives it back for the second half, and keeps it off in extra time.
Futsal against eleven-a-side: what a soccer scoreboard gets wrong
| Futsal (FIFA Futsal Laws 2025-26) | Eleven-a-side (IFAB Laws) | |
|---|---|---|
| Players | 5, one a goalkeeper; at least 3 | 11; at least 7 |
| Substitutions | Unlimited, on the move; up to 9 substitutes | Usually up to 5, not returning |
| Match | 2 × 20 minutes, clock stopped | 2 × 45 minutes, time added |
| Timeouts | One per team per half | None |
| Team fouls | Counted; from the 6th a 10 m kick, no wall | Not counted |
| Sent off | Replaced after 2 minutes or the right goal | Never replaced |
| Extra time | 2 × up to 5 minutes | 2 × up to 15 minutes |
| Offside | None | Law 11 |
| Restarts | Kick-ins, within 4 seconds | Throw-ins |
For eleven-a-side, use the soccer score counter, which counts substitutes and windows instead of fouls.

Frequently asked questions
How do accumulated fouls work in futsal?
Every foul penalised with a direct free kick counts as an accumulated foul against the team, and each team’s count is kept separately for each half. The first five are ordinary free kicks. From the sixth, every foul gives the opponents a direct free kick from the 10 m mark, or from the spot if nearer goal, with no wall, under Law 13 of the Futsal Laws.
Do accumulated fouls reset at half-time in futsal?
Yes. Each team starts the second half on zero accumulated fouls, whatever it committed in the first. They do not reset for extra time: Law 13.4 says the second period’s fouls continue to count during extra time, so a team on five at full time concedes a 10 m kick with its very next foul. The counter resets at half-time and carries the count into extra time.
Does a penalty kick count as an accumulated foul in futsal?
Not since the 2025-26 Futsal Laws, effective 5 September 2025. Law 12.1 now says no accumulated foul is recorded when a penalty kick is awarded. Before that, a foul punished by a penalty also counted towards the six, and older explainers, including FIFA’s 2018 article, still say so. The counter’s Penalty-kick foul key follows whichever edition you choose.
What happens on the 6th foul in futsal?
The opponents get a direct free kick, and it must be an attempt to score. It is taken from the 10 m mark, or, if the foul was between the 10 m line and the goal line, from where the foul happened if the kicker prefers. The defending team may not form a wall: only the goalkeeper defends it, at least 5 m away. A sixth foul inside the penalty area gives a penalty kick instead.
How long does a team play with one less player after a red card in futsal?
Two minutes of playing time, then a substitute may replace the sent-off player. It ends sooner if the team with more players scores: the short team adds one player at once, and only one even at five against three. If both teams are equally short, a goal changes nothing, and a goal by the short team changes nothing either. The sent-off player cannot return.
How many timeouts does each team get in futsal?
One one-minute timeout in each half. It is requested by a team official and granted when the ball is out of play and that team has the restart. A timeout not used in the first half does not carry over, so a team never has two in the second, and there are no timeouts at all in extra time under Law 7.3.
How long is a futsal match?
Two halves of 20 minutes of playing time, with a half-time interval of no more than 15 minutes. Because the clock stops whenever the ball is out of play, the 40 minutes take a good deal longer on a wall clock, and timeouts add more. Competitions may shorten the halves, and many amateur and youth leagues play a running clock, often with halves of 20 or 25 minutes.
How long is extra time in futsal?
Two equal periods of no more than five minutes each, as the competition rules set, with no interval between them: the teams change ends, with a drinks break of up to a minute allowed. There is no golden goal, no timeouts are allowed, and the second half’s accumulated fouls carry on. If it is still level, penalties follow: five each, then sudden death.
Is this an official futsal scoresheet?
No. It is a score counter for leagues, coaches, benches and anyone following a match. It keeps the goals, fouls, timeouts, cards and reductions in this browser and sends nothing anywhere. Its clock starts when you tap Kick off rather than with the timekeeper’s, and it cannot see the court, so it records whatever you tap.
