Futsal playing skills are the main support in successfully achieving the goals of the game. There are several underlying techniques that every player needs to master, including passing, dribbling, controlling, chipping and shooting. This study aims to optimize the selection process for the best futsal players using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method. The SAW method was chosen because of its ability to combine various selection criteria into one composite score, which makes decision-making easier. This research involves analyzing the needs of a futsal group to determine the relevant criteria and weights in selecting a group of players, such as passing, control, dribbling, chipping, and shooting. These indicators provide a more comprehensive picture of the capabilities and potential of the player group. Potential futsal group data are collected and processed using the SAW method with a weighted sum of the performance ratings for each alternative from all attributes. The SAW method requires a matrix normalization process on a scale that can be compared with all existing alternative ratings to produce objective and transparent ratings for the player groups. Based on the results of calculations using the SAW method, the assessment results for the prospective group of futsal players were obtained based on the specified criteria and weights. The highest score was achieved by Banyumas 1 with a score of 0.85. The research results show that the application of the SAW method in the selection process for futsal players increases the efficiency and accuracy of selecting new players. By using this approach, Porprov can more easily identify the best candidates to meet their needs.
