Futsal Boys!!!!! Anime Delayed in Lieu of Better Coordination
When the Futsal Boys!!!! multimedia project was first announced, the refreshing idea warmed up pretty quickly to otakus. Yet, it is this very nature of the upcoming series that is further delaying its release.
The project aims to release anime, games and coordinate real-life matches whose results will affect the anime’s plot. It is apparent that the actual matches can’t be held in the current situation, thus inevitably delaying the anime.
The Futsal Boys!!!!! project has revealed that the anime series’ premiere date has been pushed back to 2022, while the game’s debut date still remains undecided. The whole project was set to debut this year and thus, it might come as bad news to all futsal enthusiasts.
Notice regarding project development schedule
Currently, the app game is being produced for release, but it has taken longer than expected from the beginning to improve the quality.
Along with this, as a result of reexamining the optimal development schedule for this project to develop interlocking development of animation, application games, and game events, the release time of the animation scheduled to be broadcast in 2021 was set to 2022.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. We will do our best to manage both the app game and the animation so that everyone can enjoy it, so we would be very grateful if you could wait for a while.
We look forward to your continued support of “Futsal Boys !!!!!”.

Even the smartphone game was not spared the delay as creators claim its quality needs to be improved.
Like any other sports anime, the franchise will focus on multiple teams who compete against each other. Futsal might not be as popular as its sibling sport, soccer, but its thrill is even more intense since it is a compact game.

Previously released visuals have highlighted all the teams that will be competing in the series. The cast and staff selection has also been revealed beforehand.
Officials have apologized for the inconvenience caused to fans. Still, as someone who has seen innumerable delays and hiatuses in the last year, I think safety is prior to production procedures.
If you have been waiting for this anime and relate to this sport, worry not, as we will update you as soon as the release date is confirmed.
