Here is a full report on the Futsal Desafio played in Brazil: three interesting friendly matches between the new Brazilian team coached by PC and the Crotian side guided by Mico Martic. Though Brazil, as expected, conquered the "desafio" by winning all matches, Croatia offered an impressive performance during its stay in the South American country.


Also, we're happy to notice that there is a loyal guest for Futsalplanet.com, nothing special, just the best player of the world... Falcão...

thanks for visiting us, craque... and thanks to all our fans from all around the world!!! (even if you cannot play futsal like Falcao does...)
