<![CDATA[Futsal performance requires not only physical and technical skills but also strong psychological readiness, particularly in competitive situations. One of the key psychological factors influencing athletic performance is self-efficacy, defined as an individual’s belief in their ability to organize and execute actions necessary to achieve desired outcomes. This article aims to describe the implementation of psychoeducation as a psychological intervention to enhance self-efficacy among members of the “OR” Futsal Community in City S within a community service context. The study employed a qualitative descriptive approach with a community-based service design, involving 10 core players aged 19–23 years and one coach as a key informant. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, Focus Group Discussions (FGD), and self-efficacy pre-test and post-test measures. The assessment results indicated a significant decline in players’ self-efficacy during official competitions compared to training sessions, manifested through decision-making hesitation, emotional regulation difficulties, and weakened intragroup communication. The two-day psychoeducational intervention demonstrated positive outcomes, including increased self-efficacy, greater self-awareness, improved initiative-taking, and more supportive team communication. These findings suggest that self-efficacy psychoeducation is a relevant and effective approach to strengthening mental readiness and team performance in competitive futsal contexts.]]>
