Many builders in India always strive to do something different with their residential projects, and hence wish to introduce something extra that four walls and a roof cannot measure. Wherever clubs have anything to do with it, be it clubhouses or infinity pools, every square foot is an opportunity to balance ourselves toward the look to make it look appealing, but over the last few years, something has been replacing itself: an appeal to the view, the futsal court.
Unitized, action-packed, and neighborhood-friendly, futsal courts are the latest amenity item on the cards that need to be developed within gated neighborhoods, townships, and high-rise apartment projects. It is not only about sport, but it is more about lifestyle, health, and value creation.
This blog aims to find answers to the question of why builders and architects are turning to futsal and how it improves project ROI, and how Gallant Sports revolutionizes designing the best futsal court turfs, making each project unique.
What Is a Futsal Court?
Futsal is a variant of football, which is played on a small hard playground, 5-a-side. It is generally played outdoors (on artificial turf) or indoors (on a synthetic surface). The court is about 38-42 meters long and 18-25 meters wide, with side walls or boundaries.
In comparison to traditional football pitches, futsal courts take less space, demand less maintenance, and guarantee a high level of engagement, which makes them suitable for modern residential development.
Consider it as the fast and space-saving big brother of football, specifically made to fit urban societies.
Why Are Futsal Courts Becoming Popular in Housing Projects?
-
Save Space and Cost in Urban Areas
- Land in the city is costly and limited. Old conventional football pitches are difficult to host. A futsal field, however, requires just a small part of that area.
- They can be constructed on terraces, podiums, or unused plots.
- Multi-use: may be used as a volleyball or badminton pitch.
- Integrable into other recreational places, together with other leisure areas, with ease.
We have built an exciting play area with only 4,000-5,000 sq. ft and this area is full every night.

Boost Fitness and Community Bonding
Futsal is not only a game for athletes. It is a community sport which is popular with:
- Children who are acquiring the fundamental skills of motor skill accomplishments.
- Teenagers are enhancing their teamwork and learning to coordinate.
- Adults who seek entertainment and stress-relieving exercises.
- Socializing with the family using weekend tournaments.
What is the good news? There is no need to have exorbitant equipment and training to begin with it. All you need is a ball and some friends, and you are set.
-
Adds Premium Appeal to the Project
Builders are selling futsal courts as lifestyle amenities along with gyms and yoga lawns.
- Appeals to profit-live well, health-aware, youthful homebuyers.
- Provides a USP when visiting sites and brochures.
- Increases the image and demand of the property.
In densely populated cities such as Bangalore, Pune, Gurgaon, and Hyderabad, sporting facilities are not a luxury anymore; it is the expectation of the buyer. Indeed, a specialized futsal court surpasses such expectations.
-
Easy to Maintain and Long-Lasting
A futsal court differs from swimming pools or an indoor form of gym:
- Does not need fancy equipment or piping water.
- Can resist wear and tear through heavy footfall.
Gallant turf has a life span of 8-10 years with simple maintenance.
This renders it economical to Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) and appealing to builders with desires of easy handover and maintenance.
-
Generates Extra Income After Possession
Societies can do the following after possession:
- Lease the court at off-peak times to local academies.
- Conduct inter-society tournaments or weekend leagues.
- Impose nominal fees to book the court, generating a source of income.
ROI Tip: An investment in a futsal system of 10-15 lakhs will enable a builder to reflect an increase in the perceived pro value by 200-400/sq. Ft. in premium apartments.
