Maccabi Futsal Club set for New Zealand experience

The New Zealand Football Futsal National League features five New Zealand clubs and Maccabi Futsal Club in a fifteen round competition plus finals played over three series during the 2010/11 summer.

Series one begins this weekend with Maccabi playing Wellington to open the tournament at 11am Saturday 27th November at the South West Stadium Hutchison Rd, Mt Cook in Wellington.
Maccabi Futsal Club will be looking to add to the success of last season Futsal Super League Premier and Champions.
Current Futsalroos Coach Steven Knight believes his squad are beaming with confidence with the hope of getting off to a flying start this Saturday.
Maccabi had their last training session on Wednesday evening and the feeling in the camp was one of excitement amongst all the players.
Knight has been nothing but sensational in his support for this initiative and for the club.
“I?m getting goose bumps thinking about what you can achieve, I?m so proud to be their Coach”.  
Maccabi Club President Gareth Naar  was also vocal about his club?s major achievements thus far.
?As President of the club I would like to say the Maccabi Hakoah Futsal was formed to create an environment on the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney for players to play Futsal at a high level and develop both Futsal and football within the community.
?We love this game and will do everything we can to push the envelope and make the most of its untapped potential.
?It is no secret that Futsal can be a sport in its own right in Australia, as we have seen firsthand the support it gets overseas and the benefits their football associations gain from it,?
Football NSW Futsal Manager Troy McColl echoed the thoughts of the Maccabi team management.
?This is a fantastic opportunity for Maccabi and Football NSW and we wish Maccabi the best of luck throughout the New Zealand National League.
?Football NSW would also like to thank the New Zealand Football Futsal Development Manager Mr. Dave Payne for the invite into the National League and we wish New Zealand Football every success with the development of Futsal in New Zealand.?
