The Grimsby Futsal League is about to start its 11th league season. The league has limited spaces for new senior teams (age 16 and above).
From 4 teams meeting to play the game on Grimsby’s Grange Estate the league has grown to playing Monday – Wednesday at the Second Avenue Resource Centre and Tuesday nights at Kent St Resource Centre.
Over 40 teams are currently playing in the Grimsby Futsal Cup, the winners qualifying to play futsal in France sponsored by Sports Liesure Travel Ltd.
The FA has announced a new national 5 aside tournament, regional tournaments will lead to the last 32 teams playing futsal on the hallowed Wembley surface, teams will change in the facilities used by England; and to cap it all the winning trophy will be presented from the royal box! The grounds mans budget is such that the tournament will play whatever the conditions.
Annually our best teams play a FA Umbro Futsal Cup (Grimsby Qualifying Group), the 2007 winners (Nicol Magpies) will be playing at the prestigious Cup Finals at Sheffield June 6th-8th. This year’s event is expanding out of the English Institute of Sport into other indoor facilities in Sheffield to incorporate junior and senior ladies competitions. The 2007 winners qualify to play in the 2008 UEFA Futsal Cup.
These FA events are superbly organized and have more time and expense put into them any small league or group could ever envisage. Last years Futsal Cup was presented by Sir Trevor Brooking, the FA Cup was on display, Radio Sheffield did the presentation both at the venue and with live radio interviews.
Futsal equals opportunity, opportunity to play for England at futsal, referee futsal internationally, to play futsal at Wembley or your futsal team qualifies for the UEFA Cup.
