FA MAKE FUTSAL FINALS DRAW

The draw for the FA National Futsal finals has been made in Sheffield.

Sixteen regional qualifiers from across England will compete in the
prestigious tournament, which is taking place at Sheffield's English
Institute of Sport this weekend (June 18-20).

The teams have progressed from leagues in Bristol, Birmingham, London, The Wirral, Derby, Pendle, Hull, Manchester, Gloucestershire, Sheffield, Grimsby, Oxford and Cumbria.

Dermot Collins, the FA's Development Manager for small-sided football, said: "I am really looking forward to seeing these teams in action," said Dermot.
"The country's best Futsal clubs will be on show and we are expecting a thrilling championship.

"The regional leagues have thrown up some great contests and we hope to see even more in the finals."

Sheffield's top two clubs, Sheffield Hallam and Hillsborough Phoenix, have been drawn together in Group Two. Hallam finished just one point ahead of Hillsborough in their regional qualifying league at Sheffield United's Academy.

The 16 teams have been split into four groups of four, with the league games taking place on Friday and Saturday.

Sunday is finals day as the top two teams from each group progress to the national competition's quarter-finals. The bottom two teams meet in a Plate tournament.

Admission to the event is free and spectators are advised to arrive early to guarantee a seat.

The semi-finals and finals will take place on Sunday, June 20 from 1pm.
