Football is the national passion, and in addition to traditional football, which is played with 11 players on each side, there are also other sports that are popular with fans and players, Fut7.
There is a great impasse in relation to who gave rise to this name, because in 1981 both Rio de Janeiro and Rio Grande do Sul started this type of game with the same rules.
But after all, what is Fut7?
Fut7 is the name given to Football Society, as it is played with seven players on each team and two referees refereeing the match. The modality lasts two halves of 25 minutes.
The Fut7 Society became official in 1996, when the Brazilian Confederation of Football 7 Society was founded.
There are currently Fut7 Federations in more than 26 states in Brazil, more than 30 thousand registered athletes, 12 million practitioners and more than 4 thousand Society football fields in Brazil alone.
