For a futsal match under FIFA Law 2, the ball's pressure is 0.6 to 0.9 atmosphere (600 to 900 g/cm²) at sea level. For practice, check the pressure printed on the exact ball and use a gauge, since a manufacturer's target can vary by ball type.
Futsal balls have a lower-bounce design, and match pressure is set separately from the outdoor soccer-ball range. Check both the competition rule and the target shown for the specific ball before inflating it.
Pressure by use
| Situation | Published pressure | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Futsal match under FIFA Laws | 0.6 to 0.9 atmosphere (600 to 900 g/cm²) at sea level | The event’s ball rules and the ball’s approved markings |
| Routine practice | The ball maker’s stated target | The model’s pressure label or instructions |
| Outdoor soccer match | 0.6 to 1.1 atmosphere (600 to 1,100 g/cm²) at sea level | Use the separate outdoor rule, not the futsal maximum |
The FIFA Futsal Laws set the futsal range at sea level and also specify the ball’s size, weight and first-rebound range. The futsal ball is smaller and has a different bounce requirement than a standard soccer ball; compare the futsal ball vs soccer ball guide for those differences.
Use the gauge and the ball label
Check the ball’s recommended pressure in the units printed by its maker, then inflate gradually and use a gauge to read it. SELECT publishes futsal-ball recommendations by ball type and tells users to check pressure with a gauge. Those ball-specific recommendations are useful for that product line, while match balls still need to comply with the relevant competition rule.
Do not use the outdoor soccer-ball range as the futsal target. For ball maintenance and model-specific pressure advice across soccer balls, see our soccer ball pressure guide.

Common questions
What pressure should a futsal ball have?
FIFA Futsal Law 2 specifies 0.6 to 0.9 atmosphere (600 to 900 g/cm²) at sea level for match balls.
How many PSI should a futsal ball have?
The FIFA futsal range converts to about 8.5 to 12.8 psi at sea level; check your gauge's unit and the ball's own pressure label.
Should a futsal ball use the same pressure as a soccer ball?
Use the target printed for the exact ball and follow the futsal competition rule for matches. The outdoor soccer-ball rule has a wider pressure range; see our [soccer ball pressure guide](/guides/soccer-ball-pressure-guide).
How do I check futsal ball pressure?
Use a pressure gauge and compare its reading with the recommendation on the ball or its maker's instructions. For a match, also check that the ball meets the event's requirements.
