Communication from Capital Football

Dear Fellow Futsal Administrators,

My name is David Lee, I work for Capital Football (a state football federation in Australia) as a Futsal event/league manager, and am also a member of Football Federation Australia's (FFA) organising committee for the Australian National Futsal Championships.

I am pleased to inform you that the 2008 Australian National Futsal Championships will be held in Canberra from January 7-11 2008, and will be proudly hosted by Capital Football - Futsal, in conjunction with the FFA.

The annual Australian Futsal Championships is the biggest Football tournament of its kind within Australia and the Oceania Region, attracting up to 3000 competitors from Australian States, Territories, and several Nations within the OCEANIA and ASIA Regions. The 29th Australian Futsal Championships will commence Monday 7 January, and will run for 5 full days, concluding with the traditional finals program on Friday 11 January 2008. The FFA has recently confirmed the competition age divisions which will be contested during the championships, all of which are listed below:

11 Boys -- 11 Girls
12 Boys -- 12 Girls
13 Boys -- 13 Girls
14 Boys -- 14 Girls
15 Boys -- 15 Girls
16 Boys -- 16 Girls
Youth Men -- Youth Women
Open Men -- Open Women


On behalf of the FFA and Capital Football - Futsal I would like to invite you to Canberra for the premiere event on the Australian Futsal calendar. The tournament is limited to State Based Representative teams from Australian States and Territories, however, foreign teams are eligible to nominate as club, and/or regional representative teams. Full tournament information, including registration details, can be found by logging onto the event's official website - www.futsalnationals.com.au

Foreign team nominations close on the 23rd of November 2007 and are subject to the approval of the FFA.

Our event is renowned as one of the World's most professionally managed Futsal tournaments, and for 2008 we have established some ambitious goals which we believe will further build on the success of previous tournaments held in Canberra. I hope you are excited about the opportunity to participate in the 2008 Australian National Futsal Championships and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Finally, I do ask that you forward this email onto your own contacts as they too may find this interesting.


Yours Sincerely,

David Lee
