Newport man Rico Zulkarnain set to become first Welsh pro futsal player

A Newport man is set to become the first Welsh professional Futsal player.

Futsal is a version of five-a-side football, played indoors, with a smaller, heavier ball and taller-than-usual goal.

The sport is relatively unknown here, but in parts of Europe and South America it is more popular than eleven-a-side.

Now player Rico Zulkarnain has landed a contract with a club in Indonesia, where he hopes to play in front of thousands of fans.
