Toje Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 "The game is picking up momentum in our own city. A group has created a non-profit organization, Saskatoon Futsal League. Their first season came to an end with FC Ukraine finishing on top, winning the league playoff championship. Six men’s teams participated the first season with Ukraine’s Vasyl Barannik winning the scoring title with 53 goals. SFL president Jamie Meza brings lots of experience from his Toronto Boca Juniors and United days. Originally from Colombia, Meza heads a team effort made up of Thiago Prado, Jerson Barandica and Abumere Okonoufa. Next year, Saskatoon hopes to send a side to the Canadian championship. With Meza’s connections, they’re already getting invites to big events. The league is playing it cool and wants to ensure they send a competitive side before rushing into things." http://thestarphoenix.com/sports/soccer/the-sport-of-futsals-gaining-traction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toje Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 "A popular sport that is still relatively unknown in Saskatchewan has been gaining momentum in the province thanks to a Saskatoon team getting some national attention. Futsal is played in a gym with a ball, and combines elements of soccer, basketball, lacrosse and hockey." http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatoon/futsal-saskatchewan-saskatoon-league-1.4019841 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
