First recorded mentions of futnet date back to 1920s to ex-Czechoslovakia when young football players of Slavia Prague started to kick the ball over a horizontal rope which was later replaced by a net. Many changes and developments have taken place since then and, nowadays, almost a hundred years later, in many countries futnet is recognized as an independent sport with its own identity and a proper organizational structure. National and international futnet competitions in various disciplines have been organized for decades and the number of followers all over the world is growing.
