Tournament squad named

Friday, 21 November 2008

England play host to a Four Nation Futsal Tournament in December and Head Coach Peter Sturgess has named his squad for the games.

Taking place at Loughborough University, the competition involves England, Republic of Ireland, Lithuania and Libya, who will all play each other over three days the weekend before Christmas.

Following the trip to France for a competition in Caen in October, which saw games with France and the Netherlands, Sturgess has named an eleven-man squad with only Loughborough Futsal Club goalkeeper Curtis Holmes being a new addition.

The rest of the squad all travelled to France and will be looking to add more caps to their respective tallies in the East Midlands.

England's first game is against Ireland on Friday 19 December, before they face Lithuania the following day and then Libya on Sunday 21 December.

Fans can watch all of the games, with tickets costing £5 for a three-day pass whilst all students and U16s go free. Call the ticket hotline now on 0161 743 3515 for more details.
