In the second day of action at the World Futsal Cup the remaining group matches took place followed by the games to decide the finalists, with the championship finals to be played tomorrow. FC Barcelona and Rivas ‘95, both from Spain, were the two strongest clubs in the group phase as they both topped all the groups they were involved in.

Benfica from Potugal topped the other group ahead of Escolla Futsal from England. The American sides, City Futsal and San Jose, also did well finishing second in their respective groups. The top sides went to the next round where they competed for a place in the final.

The semi-final results resulted in FC Barcelona and Rivas ’95 reaching the final to decide who will be the champions in the Alevin, Infantil and Cadete categories.
