The Indoor League kicks off

The Indoor League will kick off for Athletic Club on Friday, 14 January as of 20:45pm at La Casilla and our rival is Real Racing Club de Santander. Plácido Bilbao has called upon the services of the following players: Imanol Etxeberria, Armando; Oskar Vales, Oskar Alkorta, Patxi Ferreira, Aitor Larrazabal, Julen Guerrero, Alvaro Pérez, Jon Pérez ‘Bolo’, Kike Aiukar and Roberto Urizar.

Entry is by invitation only and these can be collected at municipal sports centres and at Bilbao Kirolak HQ.

This game is a sporting discipline that is a mixture of football and indoor football. It is played on artificial grass in sporting facilities that have a roof and is different from other disciplines because of the size of the pitch (40 x 20 or 42 x 23 metres), the goals (5 x 2.5 metres) and the ball (halfway between a football ball and an indoor football ball). A 1 metre tall wall surrounds the pitch and ball can rebound off it without this being considered as having gone out.

Each team is made up of five players. The matches last 60 minutes, with first and second halves of 30 minutes each and with an interval of 10 minutes.
