Singapore is a multiracial country and besides food, one of the reasons that bond them together is sports. A very commonly played sport is Singapore soccer which is also known as futsal.
Playing futsal is a famous way for Singaporeans, especially teenage boys to spend their weekend.
It is a simple sport that is loved by everyone. It does not require many skills and is easy to learn for a person who is new to the game.
In a nutshell, futsal is a simplified game of football. It has five players on each side and is usually played indoors on pitches.
Given the number of players on each team, a proper futsal pitch will be slightly smaller than a soccer pitch.
However, it is often used interchangeably.
To avoid disappointment, people usually book their soccer pitches online as it is much more convenient and easier.
Also, the online website can be very informative as it contains much information.
The question that people might ask is, where to play football in Singapore? Depending on the area, there are a few usual spots for people to play futsal in Singapore.
1. Kovan
Kovan is a neighbourhood located in the North-East Region of Singapore.
Here, Kovan Sports centre which is located 5-minutes away from the MRT station is a popular choice around the neighbourhood.
When you enter the page, it immediately shows the contact details and ongoing promotions as well as a ‘book online’ button.
In order to make a booking, one must make an online account, sign in and book; as easy as that.
However, the website interface lacks a modern touch, making it look a bit outdated. It still serves its purpose in booking a Kovan futsal court.
2. Yishun
Similar to Kovan, Yishun was also known as Nee Soon is located at the North-East Region of Singapore.
Yishun Futsal Arena in Singapore is a popular spot in this area.
The page brings you to a sleek looking interface showing the ‘booking’ tab immediately. The booking page looks modern and easy to understand. It too requires login details before the booking is secured.
Furthermore, the page also provides a list of facilities at the Yishun futsal court.
3. Jurong
On the other hand, Jurong is located in the south-west region of Singapore.
A famous Jurong futsal court is Golazo Futsal Singapore. Check out Stranger Soccer for more futsal court in Singapore.
The website for this futsal court is very simple and does not have an online booking option. It provides basic information about facilities and pricing but no way of booking a court.
The next closest option is the ‘contact us’ option on the page where players can drop their details on the page and possibly get in touch with the company to make a booking.
This method, however, is a little troublesome and slow. This may cause a low booking rate online.
4. Khalsa Futsal
Lastly, Khalsa is not a residential area but a futsal association in Singapore. It started out with a bunch of friends who loved playing futsal but had no proper facilities to do so.
This lack of facilities causes them to establish the Singapore Khalsa Association, a futsal club of their own.
The association not only offers soccer pitches but also other different facilities like gym, function room and restaurant.
The soccer pitch here is known as the Premier Pitch and users can easily rent the Khalsa futsal court through a phone call or email.
This approach is still not the best and can be improved by adding a ‘book now’ feature on the website.
