The best futsal courts in Singapore

With two full-sized regulation fields, two medium-sized pitches for seven-a-side games and a whopping eight other cages for five-a-side matches, the 300,000 square feet space works both as HYFA’s training grounds, as well as for their kids programme and pitches for public bookings. If you can’t secure a booking elsewhere, you’re more than likely to get one here, and at a cheaper rate than the others on this list – off-peak slots start at $50 an hour in the five-a-side courts, and peak at $86 for per hour session after 6pm. 

Shoot for the skies – Stadio@Rooftop is Singapore’s first rooftop pitch perched atop Tanjong Pagar’s Amara Hotel. Once the grounds for the hotel’s tennis court, the rooftop’s rebirth makes it a more democratic space, allowing up to ten players to experience scoring goals at a higher altitude than other pitches locally. Slightly pricier than the competition, it’s a boon for the CBD weekend warrior looking to get a nearby weekday fix with their colleagues after work. Since Stadio holds the keys to the pitch at the rooftop, it can also be booked past its regular opening hours with prior notice, so night owls, take note. 

Football, otherwise known as our unofficial national sport, is played in many open fields and – dare we say it ­– void decks. But if you don’t have 11 players to form a team, futsal’s the next best thing. Uber Sports offers sheltered artificial turf pitches, enclosed within safety nettings, for five- and seven-a-side games to be played. The pitches are even equipped with sound systems so you can show off your mad skills to upbeat music and pretend you’re in a YouTube video. Knowing our penchant for midnight haunts, Uber Sports operates ’til 2am, so it’s never too late for a quick match. It also runs a 24-hour futsal facility in ORTO.

Deemed as Singapore's "first indoor football stadium", The Cage allows football enthusiasts to kick it like Beckham on six 5-a-side pitches – rain or shine. The space is perfect for small practices, friendly matches, free-flow footies, and simply to show off those fancy footwork you've been working on for some time now. Open on a regular, the venue has energetic music pumping through its speakers to keep the ball rolling.  

Set up by two ex-professional footballers, Faruk Alkaff and Paul Masefield, the indoor and outdoor pitches with astroturf or artificial grass surface at Premier Pitch Turf City can be rented out from $60 an hour for games of five or seven-a-side.

One for the West-siders, Jurong West's Golazo was started up by a group of avid futsal players looking to spread the love for the sport. The venue is decked with two sheltered and two open, UV-shaded pitches fit for 5-a-side games with players of all ages. It also has bathing facilities, cheap parking, and superb ventilation so that everyone can throw a bit of footy comfortably.  

Situated close to the lush greens of Yishun Pond, Futsal Arena is one for footy enthusiasts to build their stamina, practice their footwork, show off their skills. The venue boasts five professionally designed, all-weather futsal courts that are comfortable for long periods of playing. Rates start from $45 for non-peak hours on weekdays, ranging to $90 for peak hours on weekends.
