THAI SON BAC FUTSAL CLUB (VIETNAM)

TSBFC was formed in July 2007 to participate in futsal tournaments organised in Vietnam. At that time, most of the players in the team were either street players or coaches who were well-versed in football. Currently, the club consists 18 players; nine of them have had some experience in the national team. With players boasting brilliant individual skills, Thai Son Bac is the strongest futsal team in Hanoi.


STREET EAGLES: (GERMANY)
The Street Eagles are a street soccer team from Germany. The team consists of semi-professional football players and professional football freestylers. At the Tiger Street Football tournament in 2011, the Street Eagles came in third in Guangzhou, China as well as in Da Nang, Vietnam. The team have improved a lot since 2011 especially with the acquisition of some new talented and strong players who are very motivated for this year's Tiger Street Football tournament.


EQUAL FC (MALAYSIA)
Equal FC are an amateur futsal team which started playing street soccer seven years ago. They have since changed thier game to futsal. The players are from the state of Malacca, Malaysia and have been playing together for about six to seven years. They have participated in more than 150 tournaments and won over a 100 championships. Equal FC have represented Malaysia in the Kia Futsal Champs in Johannesburg South Africa in 2010, the Adidas Championship in Singapore (achieved 2nd Place) and of course the Tiger Street Football in Vietnam last year. Theses boys have proven their worth by defeating the samba boys of Brazil during the group stages in Vietnam.
