The choice is there. UEFA has just appointed the four UEFA Futsal Cup Elite Round hosting clubs, so that everything is ready for the eagerly awaited draw to take place on next tuesday (live on uefa.com at 14:00 CET). The four mini-tournament will take place between November 20-28th, hosted by the following clubs:




-> Viz-Sinara Ekaterinburg (Russia)
-> AFC Kairat Almaty (Kazakhstan)
-> Sporting Clube de Portugal (Portugal)
-> KMF Ekonomac Kragujevac (Serbia)

Following a decision of the UEFA Executive Committee and given the fact the Russian champion will host a tournament in
Ekaterinburg, Russian and Georgian champions must be drawn into
different groups.
Also, clubs which have played each other in the Main Round may not meet again the same opponent in the Elite Round. It's curious to underline that there's room for an unbelievable Lisbon derby in Europe, between Sporting and Benfica!
