Tournament Overview
Once again the FFA Futsal National Championships hit Canberra as the courts of the Nation’s Capital prepare for battle to see who will emerge as the best of the best and claim the title for 2012. The prestigious accolades bestowed on the winners of the FFA Futsal National Championship see a week long display of stunning skills,
sweeping action and goals, goals, goals in front of large and appreciative crowds who are drawn to a game that rewards innovation, technique and risk taking.

As usual the home-town ACT will be amongst the favourites to claim honours along with the powerhouse New South Wales Thunder and Lightning.

But, as has been shown in recent years, challengers can emerge from anywhere with Victoria reaching their first men’s final for many a year and Tasmania posting some excellent results along the way. There is no reason to expect this edition of the premier
national indoor championships to be any different.

2012 will be a huge year for the game of Futsal with the seventh Futsal World Cup scheduled in Thailand from November 2-18 with the Final due to take place in the 15,000 capacity Hua Mark Stadium in Bangkok.

And so the scene is once more set. Canberra has prepared and the courts are ready. The eerie silence that descends across an empty AIS Arena, AIS Training Hall, Southern Cross Club Basketball Centre and other venues around our great Capital are soon to be shattered and will be replaced by the roar of the action and the thrill of the moment as the 2012 FFA Futsal National Championships gets underway.
