The Sport

What is Socca?

Socca is the official term for 6-a-side football, governed internationally by the International Socca Federation (ISF). It's a fast-paced, exciting format of football that emphasizes skill, teamwork, and quick decision-making.

Played on smaller pitches with six players per side (including a goalkeeper), Socca offers a dynamic and accessible version of the beautiful game. The format has grown tremendously in popularity worldwide, with national teams from across the globe competing in ISF-sanctioned tournaments.
