International Futsal Tournament 2015

As well as being able to see MFC go up against the top quality foreign teams, there will also be a youth tournament running alongside.

“The two day event will be a real showcase of international club futsal and we want to do is open it up to people not only from Manchester but also from across the UK to come and see top class futsal,” said Wright.

“Staging the event at the Velodrome which is a world class venue in the heart of Manchester's Sport City means the teams and players will get to compete in a fantastic setting.

“The event also provides us with an opportunity to bring together people who are passionate about the sport and its development. We have many great international clubs that we're friends with and this will be an ideal opportunity to make more friends in the futsal community.”

MFC have experience of hosting international clubs having welcomed Slovakian giants Slov-Matic Bratislava to Manchester in March 2014.

With the opportunity to showcase the city in all its glory, the International Futsal Tournament will be a big event on the sporting calendar.
