San Francisco, Calif. February 4, 2004

World United F.C. (www.worldunitedfc.com) has accepted an invitation to participate in futsal's first Intercontinental Cup which will take place Feb. 18-22 in Barcelona, Spain. World United F.C., U.S. men's futsal national champion five of the past seven years, will now compete in top level international competition.

The tournament will be organized by the Real Federacion Española de Futbol (www.rfef.es) Spain's Soccer Federation and the Liga Nacional de Futbol Sala (www.lnfs.es) Spain's Professional Futsal League and is endorsed by FIFA (www.fifa.com).

The Intercontinental Cup will take place in conjunction with the Planet Futbol www.firadelfutbol.com trade fair and games will be televised to 64 countries via Television Española Internacional (TVE Internacional).

Six teams will participate at the 1st Intercontinental Futsal Cup:
Playas del Castellon/Spain (UEFA Cup 2003 Champion),
Action 21 Charleroi/Belgium (UEFA Cup 2003 Runner-Up),
ACBF Carlos Barbosa/Brazil (South American Champion 2003),
World United F.C. (U.S. National Champion 2003),
PSTC Londrina/Japan (Asia) and
Ajax de Tanger/Morocco (Africa).

"It has been our desire to take our club to test international waters for some time now," said Mario Salinas, World United president, "and when the invitation came through to go to Spain for the Intercontinental Cup, we saw this as the perfect opportunity."

"I am familiar with ACBF Carlos Barbosa from the U.S. Select Team's Russia Tour in 2001, the National Team played against Action 21 Charleroi at the Genk FIFA tournament in Belgium in 2002 and satellite technology allows us to watch the Spanish League games where Playas del Castellon games are televised," said Vava Marques, World United head coach and U.S. Futsal National Team assistant coach. "This will certainly help in our preparation for the tournament".

"I am very pleased to have our national club champion participate in such a distinguished event", said Alex Para, President & CEO of the United States Futsal Federation. "U.S. Futsal is also happy that our national team assistant coach will be using this tournament as valuable training and preparation with a view towards the upcoming World Cup 2004 qualifiers".

World United F.C. is currently seeking funding and sponsorship to take its delegation to compete in Barcelona next month. Sponsors interested in supporting the team and traveling to Barcelona as part of the delegation should contact Mario Salinas.

About Futsal:
While futsal was once South America's best-kept secret, it is now a full-blown international sport with some 120 countries playing it worldwide. The sport has already had four FIFA sponsored World Championships. Futsal is expected to become part of the Olympic family during the 2008 games.

Futsal is 5-a-side soccer (4v4 plus a goalkeeper, no walls) played indoors on a basketball court or larger dimensions. Because the sport is a great skill-developer, demanding quick reflexes, fast thinking, and pinpoint passing, it is an exciting game for children as well as adults. Great Brazilian soccer superstars such as Pele, Zico and Socrates grew up playing the game and credit futsal with developing their skills. Futsal is played with a special low bounce ball to keep the ball in play, necessitating players to use their skills to maintain ball possession.
