Futsal in Brazil

[1] In Brazil the sport was developed by YMCA of São Paulo due to the lack of available football fields.

The founding states were Acre, Alagoas, Amapá, Amazonas, Bahia, Ceará, Distrito Federal, Espírito Santo, Goiás, Paraíba, Paraná, Pernambuco, Maranhão, Mato Grosso, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Norte, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, São Paulo, and Sergipe.

On August 27 of that year, Aécio de Borba Vasconcelos was elected as the organization's first president, and Fortaleza was chosen as its headquarters.
