Futsal League underway

Tuesday, 03 March 2009

The FA National Futsal League for 2009 is underway, with London-based Helvecia no doubt hoping to repeat their feat of becoming national champions in last year's inaugural tournament.

They are again competing in the Southern League, where they will come up against regular contenders such as FC White Bear USSR, Corinthians and Vaughan's FC.

Having completed a domestic double by also winning The FA Futsal Cup, Helvecia will no doubt be confident of progressing from their region into the national finals next October, which will see successful representatives from the Northern and Midlands league meet to decide the Champions, who will go on to represent England in the UEFA Futsal Cup.

In the Midlands League, teams to watch out for include Tranmere Victoria and the Birmingham Tigers whilst the Northern League contains sides such as Manchester Futsal Club and Loughborough University who have both challenged for honours in recent years.
