The 29th U.S. Futsal National Championship concluded Sunday, July 27 after three days of intense and exciting competition!

The Biggest,Oldest and most Prestigious Futsal competition ended with teams from 5 different Regions winning medals. "This is great news", said Alex Para, President of U.S. Futsal, "because it not only shows how much Futsal has grown, but how competitive it has become all across the United States". With the growth of Futsal accelerating so rapidly over the last ten years, so has this competition. Teams from the west coast dominated the competition, with teams from California North, capturing the most medals, followed by California South,Pennsylvania West, Utah, and New Jersey. The Men's Open competition was won by San Diego Sockers F.C from California, South, who played against last years National Champions Safira from Massachusetts. This is just the second time in 18 years that California-South has won the the National Men's Title. In the Women's Open category, the SF Knighthawks from San Francisco, California won its first National women's title. This year marked the seventh time the National Championship had 'age-pure' groups in the men's division. All the games in every division over the course of this event were well played and attended by more than 8,000 participants and spectators. This support was most likely bolstered by the fact that there was quite a cross-representation of teams from eight regions throughout the U.S.
