Explanation:
DONE A BIT OF RESEARCH, AND IT'S NOT INDOOR FOOTBALL/SOCCER

It's called Futebol de Salao or Samba Soccer or Brazilian soccer - even in UK

It's a flashy type of showoff football (soccer) played with a smaller, less bouncy ball

agree  Daniel Marcus: True, but there is a distinction between traditional 5-a-side - played with a bouncy ball - and futsal, played with that Brazilian hard ball that doesn't bounce. Futsal is madly quick and requires even more skill than 5 a side!
