Between the ghost post disappearing and all this Futsal talk this thread has lost all meaning to me

What? Most sport complex here in the US (Maryland, Massachusets, New Jersey, New York) have at least a futsal court. With astroturf or woodfloor.

Let me tell you everywhere I know where futsal is famous: Portugal, Senegal, Cape Verde, Kuwait and all of Northern Africa. I saw with my own eyes.

Now, japan and Korea are also very active, especially Japan being one o the best in the world.

Is there a African Badminton national team? Besides probably, S.Africa?

Maybe, maybe not but what does this change? I just have to look to asia to know that there are enough playing Badminton to let the amount of Futsal players in Africa look probably pretty small. 

Not to forget that Ubisoft would be stupid to work on a Futsal game because of Futsal players in some African countries. 

This is btw the list of countries of the Badminton World Championship (in German, didn't find it in english so fast)

like 40 countries, we need a Badminton game!

Thread related.

Or they could use that sentence as a popularity gauge for a sports IP. Are you even sure if Badminton is more popular than Futsal in Asia? Futsal is played by the masses, that's enough to get a game.

Plus, Futsal is not just indoor, it can be. But it is 5-5 soccer on a small court.

Why doesn't Ubi challenge EA in the soccer market? I can't believe none of the big publishers snatched Futsal rights yet.
I mean they want to bring back Baseball (which is cool) but Futsal is way bigger than Baseball in the world.

Nope. Football is the number 1 sport by a mile here yet Futsal is pretty much unheard of. Besides, I didn't say it was smaller than baseball, I said it was smaller than baseball in the largest videogame markets.

I think the bolded sentence pretty much elucidate our argument.

No one has the rights to Futsal, which is held by Fifa, therefore no games have been made about it yet.

There is a world cup for Futsal and it includes countries of all continents.

I never even heard of futsal before this thread. but then again im american and prefer basketball and football more than anything soccer related xD
