As expected, at the PalaTiziano in Rome on 29th December it was a great afternoon of sport and entertainment, full of femaile futsal and charitable initiatives. An event that AGLA, sponsor of the futsal league, coul not miss.

The large audience was entertained by three team tournament with teams from Serie A female futsal, organised by the league, a mini-tournament for under 14s and finally an All Star Fixture organised by Lazio's female section between a selection of Italian players and foreign players that play in Italy.
The whole event had a social purpose and was called "Futsal in Pink for children". This project had a dual message which was to increase awareness of Dravet Syndrome and the other to fight against drugs with the slogan "No Drugs, Be Free". The latter was launched by Divisione Calcio a 5 in collaboration with the Department of Anti-Drug Policy from the presidency of the Council of Ministers.

The opening match saw the best players of Seire A Group A take on the best players from Group C, with the latter overocoming their opponenets 2-1 due to the goals of Fragola. Beltrami levelled the scores momentarily for the players from Group A.
2 goals from the Group B team in the second game beat the team formed from Group A. Both goals were scored by Pasquali, one in each half.

The final and decisive game saw Group B defeat Group C 3-2. Pasquali was decisive again. She opened the scoring, then Group C equalised before Benetti restored the advantage. In the second half there were goals from Bennardo and Pasquali which meant Group B were the winners and were able to celebrate their victory.

Between the second and third games there was a presentation by the President of the Futsal League, Favrizio Tonelli, and also attented by former European and World Champion fencer and TV presenter, Margherita Granbassi.

As an interlude between the 3 team tournament and the All Star Game, there were two semi-finals of a friendly tournament between two U14 teams. In the first game Nazareth defeated Roma 1-0, whilst in the second FB5 Team Rome recorded a 3-2 victory against Lazio Calcetto.
Last but not least, of course, was the All Star Game which saw a team of Italian players face a team of foreign players who play in the Italian league. The first half ended with the scores level at 2-2 with the foreigners starting strongly with two strikes from Dalla Villa. The Italains, however, regrouped before the interval with goals from Bellucci and Siclari.

During the half time of the All Star Game the 3rd place playoff of the U14 tournament was held with Roma taking the bronze medal by beating Lazio 2-1.
The All Star Game was decided by a penalty by Vitale in the final minutes for the Italians. The foreigners made a final assault to level the scores with Cary as fly goalkeeper and Patri Jornet hitting the post. It ended 3-2 and attention immediately switched to the final of the U14 tournament between Team FB5 Rome and Nazareth. The latter would win the four team tournament with a narrow 1-0 victory to end a great day of celebration and sport.
