After four days of individual prizes, today is time to celebrate a team (and staff) efforts, having reached day 5 of the Futsalplanet Awards, the most traditional prizes of futsal!

What kind of team? The ones which are the country pride (at least, usually but not always!), also known as national teams. This is the 5th category of the AGLA Futsal Awards 2012, closing one more intense season of international challenges destinated to the national selections.

Let's remind that in the current edition of the worldwide prizes we have re-introduced the voting system, in order to make the futsal community more and more involved. Every "voter" had the chance to indicate three preferences from the 10 nominees list, assigning respectively 5, 3 and 1 points to his choices.

We hope to make this futsal party bigger in the next editions, may futsal be the winner!

And now, get ready! Which is the Best National Team of the world? Well, no doubts on the strong influence of the World Cup adventure, as the undisputed winner is Brazil! A good way to pay tribute to the former technical staff of CBFS, which recently left the team looking for new challenges.


Below have a look at the final standing, while in the pdf file you will have the chance to check who voted for who!
