From the 11th - 15th of January 2010, up to 2000 Futsal players, including 188 of Victoria’s elite, will converge upon the nation’s capital to contest the 31st FFA National Futsal Championships.

The FFA National Futsal Championships is by far the biggest National football tournament in Australia, attracting teams from Australian States and Territories, and also New Zealand and the Solomon Islands.

Victoria’s Futsal State Representative teams have been selected and after 5 months of preparation, 188 players from across Victoria will don the navy blue jersey in Canberra in male and female categories ranging from 11 years right through to senior divisions.

Football Federation Victoria (FFV) has been determined to provide the right platform for Futsal‘s ongoing development. Our efforts in this direction are further enhanced with our commitment of 18 state teams to the 2010 Championships, meaning that this will be the biggest ever contingent of Victorian teams competing at any form of National Championships.

This year, FFV decided to send two squads to represent Victoria in the Boys Under 11 and Under 12 age categories. A high quality of talent was shown throughout the trial process and FFV felt it was most appropriate for 20 players to represent Victoria at the National Championships, instead of just 10. In addition to this, FFV has also introduced the ‘VIC Magic’ and ‘VIC Rangers’ tags for these teams.
