Kickers is the first winner of UMBRO INTERNATIONAL FUTSAL CUP
The first Umbro International Futsal Cup in Manchester provided an excellent showcase of English Futsal and all clubs competing showed great commitment and desire over the weekend to become the first Umbro International Futsal Cup winners. Played in a perfect environment and vibrant atmosphere all teams hailed the tournament a great success and organisers Manchester Futsal Club can be proud of their efforts in staging the first international Futsal tournament in the UK.
The Umbro International Futsal Cup 2008 winners were Kickers Futsal Club who came through Group B to defeat London Brazil United in a comprehensive 6-0 victory. The final displayed an abundance of Brazillian flair from the two London clubs but it was Kickers who dominated from the opening minute when they took the lead. London Brazil United rallied but were fatigued following their narrow 2-1 victory against Manchester Futsal Club in the semi’s where the hosts and Group A winners failed to capitalize on their early form.
So Kickers Futsal Club are the first Umbro International Futsal Cup winners and celebrated in style at the final whistle with their coach Rogerio de Oliveira.
