The FA Futsal Cup Finals 2010
Friday 10 September - Sunday 12 September 2010
English Institute of Sport, Sheffield
Futsal’s very own FA Cup takes centre stage at the English Institute
Of Sport in Sheffield this weekend where the exhilarating speed and
skill of Futsal will light up the Finals of The FA Futsal Cup.
Starting on Friday, 32 of the best men’s and women’s teams in the
country will begin their quest to get their hands on the Cup in a
competition where the standard of the teams and individual brilliance on
show is always a great spectacle for the watching crowds.
The route to the Finals has been a long one for clubs from all over
the country. Teams have qualified for the Finals following success in
The FA National Futsal Leagues, the University BUCS Championship and
from a series of regional qualifiers. Everyone deserves their place at
the Finals but in true cup tie fashion there is every chance of a few
upsets along the way. |

Last
year’s men's champions Helvecia will be looking to win the cup for the
third year running, whilst other contenders such as Spartans, Sheffield
FC and Team United Birmingham will no doubt have their eyes on claiming
the silverware this year. There are also several newcomers involved such
as London outfit Team Unum and Torpoint Athletic from Cornwall who will
be out to make a name for themselves in English futsal.
Watford Ladies lifted the women’s title for a second time in 2009 and
they will also be back to defend their title again this year.
Competition in the women’s section will be stronger than ever this year
and the inclusion of BUCS representatives Northumbria University and MMU
Cheshire will ensure that several teams within the women’s groups will
be out demonstrate their futsal prowess over the weekend. |
