Initially, the rules were not uniform. In 1956, the rules were modified by Habib Maphuz and Luiz Gonzaga de Oliveira Fernandes within the YMCA of [[São Paulo]], Brazil, to allow seniors to compete.{{citation needed|date=May 2014}} Luiz de Oliveira wrote the ''Book of Rules of Futsal'' in 1956, then adopted also at the international level.

Shortly after, a tournament was organized. It attracted some interest in South American media, which regularly began to follow futsal. In particular, it was the Brazilian journalist José Antônio Inglêz who passionately contributed to the rapid spread of the game, as well as being credited as the man who coined the name "futsal".<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.dougreedfutsal.com/2015/04/futsal-past-present-future.html |date=2015-04-01|title=Futsal - Past, Present & Future }}</ref>

== Governing bodies ==
The two most important governing bodies of futsal are the [[Asociación Mundial de Futsal|Asociación Mundial de Fútsal]] (AMF) and Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). AMF is the successor organization to the original governing body. FIFA later took an interest in futsal. However, talks between FIFA and AMF to reconcile governance were not successful. FIFA organizes its own separate competitions.
The International Futsal Alliance (IFA) is a partnership of countries formed to offer high quality futsal tournaments throughout the world. It sees itself as ancillary rather than competing with FIFA. Its membership spans countries from North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. Several tournaments have been organized under the auspices of IFA, including a world cup for men held in 2019 and one for women held in 2017.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.interfa.org/About-Us.php |title=International Futsal Alliance |publisher=Interfa.org |access-date=2020-11-16}}</ref>

The match is controlled by the referee, who enforces the Laws of the Game, and the first referee is the only one who can legally abandon the match because of interference from outside the field. This referee is assisted by a second referee who typically watches over the goal lines or assists the primary referee with calls on fouls or plays. The decisions made by the referees are final and can only be changed if the referees think it is necessary and play has not restarted.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.fifa.com/flash/lotg/futsal/en/law5_en.htm |publisher=FIFA |title=Futsal Laws of the game (Law 5)|access-date=2008-01-23 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080109072807/http://www.fifa.com/flash/lotg/futsal/en/law5_en.htm <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archive-date = 2008-01-09}}</ref> There is also a third referee and a timekeeper who are provided with equipment to keep a record of fouls in the match.
