In the game of soccer and futsal, the goalkeeper has an important role to keep the goal so as not to concede. Not only the goal that needs to be maintained, but the keeper also needs to take care of himself by using various combat equipment to protect himself from injury. The following are various futsal goalkeeper equipment that are usually used.
1. Jersey and pants
The first futsal goalkeeper is a jersey and pants. The goalkeeper was the only person on the team who used a uniform color that was different from his team mate. This rule is made to allow players and referees to clearly see the presence of the goalkeeper. Goalkeeper uniforms usually have special pads over the elbows, chest and shoulders to provide more protection than the ball shots that are trying to be blocked.
In addition to clothes, other equipment that is not less important, namely pants. Pants for goalkeepers usually consist of two types, namely long and short. Usually there are additional pads next to the thighs and knees to reduce the risk of injury if a hard impact occurs. Collision often occurs not only from ball shots from opponents but also when the goalkeeper drops down when catching the ball in a difficult position.
2. Shin guard
Shin guard is a shin protector pad. Usually installed at least 5 cm below the knee. Shin guard what the goalkeeper wears should be light but can protect the feet. Usually the type used is that is not too much cushion so as not to disturb the comfort.

4. Finger tape
Finger tape is commonly used by goalkeepers as a substitute for gloves. Usually used on certain fingers, such as the ring finger and middle finger in both hands or according to the needs and comfort of the goalkeeper.
Finger tape serves to protect the keeper's finger from injury and sprains. Using finger tape helps prevent injury by providing extra pads on the finger and preventing finger bones from moving from the normal (dislocation) position when falling or blocking the ball.
5. Wear feet
Socks are an important attribute for futsal goalkeepers. Socks can protect the goalkeeper's feet from the possibility of being injured while taking the ball. Usually the goalkeepers choose to use socks that are long enough to cover the knee to avoid blisters.
6. futsal shoes

Soccer shoes usually have sharp pads to stick feet to landed grass. While futsal shoes are usually flat, but can still stick to either the surface of synthetic grass or the cement field.
In addition, the inner soles of futsal shoes are usually quite thick but still soft. Quality futsal shoes are designed very light with a weight of no more than 230 grams. This is because the futsal game requires speed and agility in every move.
