On behalf of TEAM UNITED BIRMINGHAM FUTSAL CLUB I am very pleased to
welcome you to our club.
It was March 2005 when the very first Birmingham Futsal league was
organised by Birmingham city council, with the league winners getting a
chance to represent Birmingham in the FA FUTSAL CUP at the ENGLISH
INSTITUTE OF SPORT in Sheffield.
When asked whether we would like to enter a team in the Birmingham
Futsal league, The reply was WHATS FUTSAL. Once explained and realising
what was at stake there was only one answer YES!!
FROM THERE ON THERE HAS BEEN NO LOOKING BACK
A team was formed and little did we know, we would be the first ever
winners of the Birmingham Futsal league. Then we went onto Sheffield to
fly the flag for Birmingham in the FA FUTSAL CUP. We soon met our match
and were knocked out of the FA FUTSAL CUP without winning a single game
in the group stages
We weren't going to let this stop us doing what we
do best!! A good nights sleep and the FA FUTSAL PLATE competition to
look forward to everything to play for as far as we were concerned, and
play we did.
Having turned around the performances of earlier games, a winning
streak in the knockout stages of the FA FUTSAL PLATE saw us in the
finals and eventually winning the FA FUTSAL PLATE competition.
Having played in various Futsal cup tournaments up and down the
country, playing in the FUTSAL PREMIER LEAGUE, BIRMINGHAM FUTSAL LEAGUE
and the first ever FA UMBRO FUTSAL LEAGUE makes us the biggest Futsal
club in the Midlands. A lot of hard work has been put into achieving
this success even more into the every day running of the club.
Having recently gained CHARTER STANTARD (again the first club to
achieve this award in Birmingham) this being a massive boost for the
club and every one involved with the club.
The club has teams in a variety of different categories from youth all
the way up to open age and delivers Futsal sessions across Birmingham
attracting players from various backgrounds.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank every one who has
supported the club.
Washwood Heath Youth and community network (WHYCN) for there continuous
support over the years, Mark Sanders (Birmingham city council) for his
overwhelming support and assistance, Chad Ehlertsen and Scot Leydon
(Birmingham city council) for helping promote Futsal in Birmingham,
Roger Wood (chairperson Birmingham county FA) and everyone at the BCFA
for there help, Dermot Collins (The FA) for his support.
Players past and present your commitment and efforts are very much
appreciated Derek our club treasurer, last but not least Masood (could
have easily become a F1 driver lol) THANKS
ENJOY THE MINI BEAUTIFUL GAME
