Football in general is horrific for your knees and ankles lol. Running is one thing but short, intense and explosive movements in all directions is just not ideal. There’s a reason many guys I played with tore their ACL.
There are some good pvc floors nowadays which, although weird to play at first, are way softer on the knees and ankles. Old wooden floors are also not as agressive for those parts.
I play mainly in artificial turf which, depending on the quality, can be quite soft and bumpy.
Personally I used to get the most sore on my obliques due to rapid changes of direction which the body wasn’t used to at that weight. Nowadays I don’t have any problems after playing particularly if I have a good warm-up, I’m only left with some swelling after bad tackles lol
Futsal sounds like it’d kill your knees and ankles. I used to do indoor football (on carpet, major rug-burn gashes every week), and it could wreck me.

But at least it’s fun.

I should totally find an adult league around me, injuries aside it sounds really fun.
