A new sport:
two-a-side soccer in a cage invented in 1987 in a garage in Lyon, France,
trademarked and brought to the attention of the public by Gilles Paniez and
Pierfrancesco Iazeolla. The cage is of approximately 50 square meters.
It is a fast game into which tactics and logic are important: three
sets at stake, seven goals needed to win a set.
The goals are small. In order to ensure a well-balanced play in the small area, the back can invade the opposing centre field only to a limited degree. At the same time, the areas around the goals are protected. More
