There’s FA Futsal Cup action this weekend, with the first round taking place across the country.
Over the course of September and December last year, local qualifying rounds for the three strands of the Futsal Cup were delivered by County FAs and local partners, with teams competing for a place in the regional stages of the competition.
Last month’s draw for the men’s and women’s competitions saw a combination of local grassroots teams and clubs who participate in the inaugural FA National Futsal Series complete the fixture programme for the first round of the senior strand.
It follows on from fixtures in the FA Pokemon Youth Futsal Cup, which took place in January with more scheduled over the next few weeks.
All events are free entry and have capacity for spectators, so for any Futsal fans with an event local to them, this is a great opportunity to go and support your local teams.
