Self-confidence is a crucial psychological factor that influences athletes’ performance, particularly in high-intensity sports such as futsal, which demand rapid decision-making and mental stability under pressure. This study aimed to determine and compare the levels of self-confidence between male and female futsal players at Bintang Lima FC Semarang in competitive situations. A quantitative approach with a descriptive–comparative design was employed. The participants consisted of 30 futsal players selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire adapted from the State Sport Confidence Inventory (SSCI), comprising 13 items measured on a 4-point Likert scale. Data analysis included descriptive statistics and the Mann–Whitney U test, following normality and homogeneity testing. The results revealed that the self-confidence levels of both male and female players were categorized as high and very high. Male players showed a slightly higher mean score (44.41) compared to female players (42.88); however, this difference was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). These findings indicate that gender does not play a dominant role in determining athletes’ confidence levels, particularly when players share similar training environments and competitive experiences. In conclusion, the study highlights that futsal players generally possess strong psychological readiness, and emphasizes the importance of integrating psychological training into regular practice to maintain and enhance confidence stability in competitive settings.
