Large Field for 31st FFA Futsal Nationals

One Hundred and Twenty One squads will take to the courts around the region ranging from under-11?s, through to Open Age, as the cream of Australia?s indoor talent battles to become the National Champion in their respective age-groups.
Two teams from the Solomon Islands have confirmed their entry in the tournament, taking the court in under-12 boy?s and under-15 boy?s competitions, whilst Auckland Futsal, from New Zealand, will place two entrants in the under-11?s boy?s competition.
