Queen of the 9th Edition of the MFC is Palma Futsal, followed by CFS Eixample; the two clubs reach 4 category finals out of the 7 available, winning 3. To Orange Futsal the merit of countering the strength of the Spanish teams and winning the Under 17 category. A pleasant return of Marca Futsal, winner the U9 category. To the two teams from Abruzzo the two victors in the adult category.

An edition conditioned by external events, complicated by the the resurgence of the pandemic, finished brilliantly thanks to the effort and constant commitment of the entire organization.

Despite the great difficulties of the case, the tournament confirmed the expectations of the eve, thanks to the value of the individual teams and the individual qualities of the players.

Many positive notes: adhesions are growing; 6 nations, 32 clubs, 54 teams, about 500 registered athletes, more than 1,000 people present, including technical staff and guests in tow.

A 5 days of sport with a constant commitment with 8 hours of futsal played per day, in the four arenas chosen for the management of the 9th edition of the MFC.

Spain confirms itself as sovereign of this edition: Palma Futsal is the winner of the Under 11 and Under 13 categories; still in the Under 13 category, the Spanish club places its two teams in the final. In the Under 15 competitive categories, Palma is confirmed again by reaching the final, losing against his fellow countrymen of CFS Eixample after an exciting match.

Even more exciting is the Under 17 final between CFS Eixample and Orange Asti Futsal; wins the Italian team of Asti, outstripping the Spaniards.

There is the welcome return of the Marca Futsal, which with its Under 09, wins the category tournament, without losing a match, scoring the beauty of 40 goals in 4 games.

In the Under 19 category, male and female, teams of Abruzzo assert themselves, in particular the selection wanted and organized by the Abruzzo Regional Committee; a competitive team capable of responding to the Hungarian team of Tolna Musz Futsal. A praise also to the boys of the City of Chieti, winner of the Under 19 tournament.

A note of merit for the two French teams of Futsal Academy Antwerpen and Futsal Les Geants; both clash against the Spanish teams, the only real impediment to the very finals of the category.
We thank the two Lithuanian clubs of the Vilnius Futsal School and BC Zalgiris for their first participation in the Montesilvano Futsal Cup; for both a positive performance with an excellent ranking.

A few days from the start, the ninth edition of the Montesilvano Futsal Cup is colored with flags; in addition to the home colors, the flags of Spain, Belgium, France and Hungary are also waving to the sky, plus Lithuania with two clubs for the first time ever.

We struggle to defeat the pandemic and we do it, also by restoring confidence in all environments, including sports. The Montesilvano Futsal Cup is a sporting event, with the aim of overcoming our territorial borders, to encourage integration, knowledge and sporting and cultural growth between different countries. Today the commitment is to re-establish old habits and restore confidence in the whole environment, instilling a spirit of optimism, especially among the very young athletes, who have suffered from the restrictions imposed starting from social distancing.

The Montesilvano Futsal Cup maintains its tradition unchanged, managing to organize the tournament again this year, proving to be an important event for all of the world youth futsal.

Many well-known names, like many loyal companies, which every year try to reconfirm their presence, despite the difficulties generated, not only by the pandemic, but also by the very strong increase in prices on services.

In this scenario, there is the extraordinary news for the participation of clubs from Lithuania, we talk about the Vilnus Futsal School, from the city of Vilnus and BC Zalgiris from the city of Kaunas. We are honored to welcome these two new realities that for the first time will compete in this competition.

There is the expected return of Palma Futsal, important name in this sport, even if on the Italian front we register the presence of one of the top-flight clubs, Real San Giuseppe, awaiting another confirmation shortly. illustrious of our championship.

Less than a month after the start of the tournament, the board of the participating clubs is slowly being completed; we are close to 30 companies with about 60 teams ready to give life to the new edition of 2022.

We return to talk about futsal quality, class, entertainment and mostly  guaranteed fun.

The Coronavirus affected the normal execution of the tournament; the numbers of the 8th edition are more smaller  than in the past, but confidence has grown, as confirmed by the presence of two European companies, which have chosen MFC to get out of this ordeal.

Organizing such an important event in just over two months is a real challenge, faced the disastrous events that have changed the lives of all citizens of the world. It is vital believing that everything can be like before, it takes courage to continue those operational projects before Covid-19.

The MFC (Montesilvano Futsal Cup) is a tradition for all youth futsal movement; considering the timing it was important to follow up, bringing all the young athletes back to the field, desirous to relive the emotions of a top-level sporting competition. The result was surprising due to the adhesions of the 21 participating clubs, including 19 national and 2 foreign (Belgium and France).

Four categories, from Under 11 to Under 17 for a total of 109 games played; a surprising number concentrated in just 4 days.

Pescara Calcio returns to victory in the Under 13 category. A 10-teams category, with the surprising exploit of Futsal Les Geants, which in the qualifying round ends with full points, just like the winning Pescara Calcio B does. Two very strong teams, who in the final play an intense match, full of goals and twists.

As it happened two years ago, when Ariccia Valmontone won the Under 17 category on its first participation, another team from Rome replicates the feat, the Sporting Hornets who have the honor of raising the cup, beating in final the highly accredited Fortitudo Futsal Pomezia; a match with few goals, which confirms the robust structure of the two teams.

In the Under 11 category, nothing is taken for granted; the winner of the Futsal Les Geants, conquers the first place in the group, against fierce coompetitorss; in group B the Elledi Fossano Futsal wins the group with full points, but then it will be Cantera Adriatica to challenge the French in the final. Cantera Adriatica who had beaten Hellas Monteverde in the semifinal, who had won all three matches in Group C.

In the Under 15 category, Sporting Altamarca wins the penalty shoot-out against Sporting Club Marconi. A thrilling final where the coldness of the boys is surprising, all extremely precise from the penalty spot.

MFC 2021 will be remembered as the edition of the rebirth; in these days the organization is already working for the 2022 edition; to date, with a sporting season that has yet to come, there are many expressions of interest from all over the world.

Corona stopped has stopped the time; more than one years out of fields but now it’s time to kick the present and go back to living the emotion of the past. There are the conditions to leave and thanks to this the organizing machine of the most important youth futsal tournament in the world start operating again.  On 26 June take place the eighth edition of MFC

The 2021 edition of the Montesilvano Futsal Cup will be remembered as the event of rebirth; the main goal  is not to repeat the numbers of the past, but to restore confidence, to confirm that the disastrous situation caused by the pandemic has not erased all the good work ; MFC will almost certainly be the only event able to reconfirm itself, thanks to its prestige and its trust gainef  at national and international level; we confirm, for the 2021 edition, the membership of two friendly clubs, those of Futsal Academy Antwerpen and Futsal Les Geants , Belgium and France respectively

The participation of foreign clubs is an important message, even if the eighth edition has the characteristics of the Italian flag, with the surprising participation of new teams coming from Regions of Sicila, Toscana and Lombardia.  We must remark the numerous enrollments from the city of Roma but also Napoli, with the historic Napoli Calcetto, the Elledi Fossano Fusal from Piemonte and Sporting Altamarca from Veneto.

Obviously a special thanks to the Abruzzo clubs that as always show a very strong interest in the event, offering an active and important collaboration for the success of the tournament.

We thank you for your trust

There are only a few days left before the start of the tournament and the map of the participating clubs is summarized within this flyer.

Extraordinary sporting agreement with one of the most important sporting organizations in America. North and South American teams are expected at the next edition. MFC 2020 will be a memorable edition

We are delighted to announce a partnership with Northeast Futsal Festival.

The Northeast Futsal Festival is a joint initiative between Global Premier Soccer (GPS) and Northeast Futsal Association.

GPS is one of the largest and most successful soccer / futsal organizations in North America, providing player development programming in twenty-four states across the USA as well as Puerto Rico, Canada, England and Spain. The Northeast Futsal Association holds on-court, classroom and online programming, providing the highest standards of professionalism through coach and referee education, player academies and clinics, league and tournament management, and more.

The champions of the 2020 “International Open” (the elite level component of the Northeast Futsal Festival being held February 22 and 23, 2020, in Boston, Mass.), will automatically be qualified to participate in the Montesilvano Cup.

MFC has identified the Northeast Futsal Festival as a strategic partner both for its organizational and professional capacity both for its growing attention to Futsal.

The alliance with Northeast Futsal Festival in this sense has a strategic value as it allows to create interesting relationships in countries where Futsal is experiencing a huge expansion.

“We are honored to be an official qualifier of such a prestigious event and can be confident that all winning teams will have a memorable experience in Italy, along with 450+ teams coming from over 19 countries at the Montesilvano Cup”, said James Hamblin, National Tournament Director of Global Premier Soccer.

We thank everyone for accompanying us on this long week of sport, in the hope that we have done everything possible to make this journey unforgettable for everyone.
The wish is to see you again next year, on the occasion of the 8th edition of the Montesilvano Futsal Cup.

Thank you

The countdown has started, a few days after the start of the event, the latest confirmations arrive and the grid is now complete: 43 registered companies, from all over the globe.

The MFC 2019 is increasingly an international sports project for youth aggregation; the excellent reputation has meant that the event is known and appreciated all over the world.

Nonetheless, we are surprised by the interest from some countries, in which the organization has not launched any communication and marketing initiatives. This is the confirmation that the work done in recent years is the best business card to present, to achieve maximum consensus.

This explains the sensational participation of Australia and the Indian Federation.

We can talk about FUTSAL WORLD, as stated on one of the evocative shirts, printed for the occasion, which tends to effectively concentrate the transmitted message.

MFC 2019 earns the right to be one of the most important youth sporting events in the futsal world.

It’s time to present the companies that will participate in the 7th edition of the MFC.

Also this year, there will be seven categories, from the little Under 9s, up to the men’s Under 19; the women’s project is also well underway; like last year, this year too there will be the Under 17 girls.

Surprisingly, in the draw, we point out the presence of four national selections; Ukraine, Italy, Australia and India, who show up for the appointment with a selection of the best youth sector players from their respective countries.

A resounding success, which led to the development of impressive numbers:

• 43 companies present; 14 nations and 4 continents represented;
• 7 categories; 84 participating teams; 218 matches to be played;
• 5 reference cities: Montesilvano, Pescara, Sant’Angelo, Chieti and the Municipality of Silvi.

More than 1,500 people are expected at the event, including athletes, technical staff and guests, for what promises to be the edition with the highest rate of foreign participation. To all of them we welcome and to our territorial realities, we address a particular recommendation: “may this experience be a showcase for all of you”.

It is necessary to thank the LOTTO company which this year has chosen to be present at the event as a technical sponsor. Our wish is that they can continue over the years, linking such a prestigious brand to the no less prestigious Montesilvano Futsal Cup.

We extend our thanks to the host municipalities, which, like every year, support us in the success of the project.

At this point we just have to wish everyone a lot of fun.

Differentemente da ciò che era accaduto lo scorso anno, sul podio salgono anche le italiane, anche se permane lo strapotere delle compagini straniere

È passato un anno e le cose sono cambiate, almeno in parte; le società italiane hanno lavorato duramente per ridurre il gap, contro le fortissime rivali straniere; permangono delle differenze, difficilmente colmabili, soprattutto di fronte a potenze come l’Inter Movistar di Madrid, leader assoluta nel panorama europeo e mondiale.

È comunque confortante vedere il futsal italiano in crescita, come dimostrato dalla Fenice Calcio a 5, vera sorpresa di questa edizione 2018; c’è anche la piacevole novità di una finale tutta italiana, con Virtus Romanina e Futsal Lazio Academy nell’Under 17, categoria notoriamente complicata per tutti, visto il livello qualitativo delle partecipanti.

Ma tanti sono i motivi d’interesse di questa edizione, che raggiunge un record con la partecipazione di rappresentative provenienti da 12 nazioni, di 3 diversi continenti.

Sul fronte straniero, abbiamo avuto la fortuna di osservare da vicino le qualità pazzesche dell’Atletico Paranaense, società brasiliana, professionista nel calcio, che indirizza i suoi giovani talenti attraverso il futsal. Molta curiosità attirano le compagini nipponiche di Tokyo, che si presentano con due selezioni, Under 13 ed Under 15; siamo piacevolmente colpiti dalle incredibili doti di palleggiatori, non troppo distanti dalle qualità individuali dei brasiliani.

Chi cattura la nostra attenzioni sono le società del nord Europa, simili nell’espressione delle proprie qualità tecnico-agonistiche; un calcio prettamente fisico, con ritmi gara sostenuti, senza mai denunciare un calo di concentrazione; tra queste rappresentative figurano il Rekord Bielsko Biala e la Squadra Mouscron, vecchie conoscenze del Montesilvano Futsal Cup, che negli anni riconfermano il proprio valore, come sostenuto dai risultati conseguito; la Squadra Mouscron vince la categoria Under 09, mentre al Rekord Bielsko Biala rimane il rammarico di aver perduto la finale Under 15 e quella improponibile dell’Under 19. Tra le neo-partecipanti, citiamo il Nadiya-Prykarpattya, Under 13, capace di giocare un futsal molto tecnico e molto fisico; squadra fantastica; stessa cosa vale per gli ungheresi del Dunakeszi Kinizsi Futsal.

Una citazione specifica pepr la squadra scozzese dello Joga Futsal; è la seconda volta che al Montesilvano Futsal Cup, partecipa una squadra bretone, ed è la seconda volta che vince il trofeo di categoria, confermando le doti di organizzazione e di qualità collettive e individuali, proprio come ci aveva dimostrato lo scorso anno la squadra inglese dell’Olè Futsal.

Una nota molto positiva di questa manifestazione è il ritorno, gradito, delle ragazze; con grande fatica si riesce a costruire un torneo anche per la categoria Under 17; vince la fortissima compagine del Casal Torraccia, società di Roma, ma siamo felicemente colpiti dalle qualità delle ungheresi del Tolna Muszi e delle finlandesi del Kampuksen Dynamo. Un futsal di qualità, giocato a buoni ritmi; la finalissima è spettacolare e il risultato matura solo nei minuti finali, ad interrompere un equilibrio ormai consolidato, che le avrebbe dovute portare alla lotteria dei calci di rigore.

Ma il Montesilvano Futsal Cup non mette in risalto solo le qualità delle finaliste; questa è una competizione che guarda a tutte le squadre di settore giovanile e scuola calcio, indipendentemente dal blasone e dai risultati conseguiti. È giusto mettere in risalto il grande lavoro fatto, anche dalla società italiane che hanno lottato per un posto tra le grandi; vogliamo premiare il l’Elledi Carmagnola, il Vallerano Futsal, il Napoli Calcetto, le Naiadi Accademia Sport e l’Alcyone Calcio. Tutte si sono messe in evidenza, lottando, anche alla pari, contro compagini più forti. Apprezziamo di ognuno l’intenzione di sviluppare un futsal consapevole, fatto di strategie e di moduli di gioco, sempre più evoluti, sempre più attuali; in questo c’è ovviamente il merito dei ragazzi, oltre che dello staff tecnico.

Una 6° edizione eterogenea, in cui si misurano realtà diverse tra loro, in cui emergono i valori e la cultura sportiva, come dovrebbe essere.

Sempre di più il Montesilvano Futsal Cup è la rappresentazione di un mondiale per categorie di settore giovanile.

Ricordiamo i vincenti di questa 6° Edizione del Montesilvano Futsal Cup:
