Spanish term or phrase: footbito
This is part of a description of the facilities at a hotel:

"... piscina, ping pong, tenis, campo de FOOTBITO, zona de juegos infantiles, petanca y ahora en proyecto un mini golf ..."

This is the first time I've seen the term and can't seem to find a photo or explanation anywhere.

Thanks much in advance!

"fulbito" field


Explanation:
Yo no lo traduciría y la razón es la siguiente:
Se trata de una denominación poco popular en España. Sólo hay 887 hits en google "fulbito site:es" eso es muy poco como para afirmar que es popular. Investigando encontré lo siguiente respecto a lo que es el fulbito en España, en Perú la cosa es diferente y dicen que ellos fueron los creadores: Lo transcribo porque está en un pdf de imagen.

El fulbito se practica en terrenos de 42 x 26 metros dividido en dos parcelas con una línea que señala el campo de contendiente.
Los equipos se componen de 12 jugadores, aunque intervienen en el juego solamente siete. los restantes son para reemplazos.

Ante ese panorama, me le quito el sombrero al que encuentre una traducción más o menos aceptada y que englobe ese concepto.

Asker: Muchas gracias, baligh. Al final resulta que efectivamente está dentro en este hotel, pero el cliente ha eligido "five-a-side", por eso y porque también su respuesta es correcta y él ha llegado primero, he seleccionado la respuesta de David.

agree  neilmac: Covers the options :)
2 hrs
  -> Thank you Neil :)

neutral  xxxtazdog: but if you look at the pictures (Google image search) for campo de futbito, you'll see that most of them are outdoor, not indoor (e.g., http://www.aytoestivella.com/galeria-de-fotos/i/4419/82/inst...
8 hrs
  -> I checked that bunch of pictures and most of them are football fields, and if you read my explanation I said it can be either indoor or outdoor, doesnt make any difference. I am telling you because I live in Spain and I practice this sport quite often.

About the dimensions question:

Five a Side Football Pitch

Under the rules of small sided football, the minimum dimensions of a pitch can be anywhere between 25 meters x 16.5 meters and 50 meters x 35 meters. Dimensions of proposed pitch on site are 42meters x 25meters. This size of pitch is generous enough for competitive team play. Positioned within the required North to south Axis parameters.

Reference: ¿De qué país es el texto?

Reference information:
"Fulbito" parece ser un 6-a-side típico de Perú:
http://www.deperu.com/fulbito/
Mientras que el "futbito" es "fútbol de sala"
http://www.futbito.com/
Parece usarse en francés con la ortografía "footbito" :
http://footbito.wideal.ma/en_direct_096.htm
También cabría preguntar (dado que mencinan juegos infantiles a continuación) si no es "mini fútbol" para niños, que en inglés sería "mini-soccer"
