Old Style Pilsner1555362318 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Just curious if anyone has heard anything about the newly minted Canadian Arena Soccer Association (website: http://www.casasoccer.ca/), I know Mississauga is getting a MASL club beginning in 2018, and the CASA are scheduling a National Team friendly v Mexico on October 1 at Hershey Centre. Have they reached out to The Voyageurs at all? (This is probably a question best asked to @admin) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toje Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Fantastic to see this start up! I see that tickets for the Canada-Mexico game start at $20. I have not lived in Canada for a long time, so I might be out of touch with prices, but $20....? Seems like a little much for a sport many people might not be familiar with.

Jith12 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 @Old Style Pilsner1555362318 and @Toje: Is arena soccer the same thing as futsal or are there any differences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Style Pilsner1555362318 Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 @Toje: Good question. $20 doesn't seem over the top to me, but that said I'm not sure what MASL clubs sell individual tickets for; suppose we'll find that out when the Mississauga club begins play next year. @Jith12: There are differences, here's some off the top of my head. Arena Soccer is played on what's best described as an astro pitch in an arena, where the boards are in play. It's the classic type of North American indoor soccer. Games are 4 15min quarters as opposed to 2 20min halves, and teams play 6v6 (5 and a keeper) as opposed to 5v5 (4 and a keeper) due to the larger pitch sizes. The ball is a standard size 5 as opposed to the futsal size, and unlike futsal, teams aren't penalized with a penalty kick after conceding a certain number of fouls. That said the Canadian Futsal NT does feature several players who play Arena Soccer, keeper Josh Lemos and outfield players Vahid Assadpour, Ian Bennett, and Frederico Mooijen.

Admin Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I though this was dead. Futsal. This feels like a few steps backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll never properly kill arena soccer, it'll always be lurking in the background. That said, Futsal is the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto is getting a team that will play in Mississauga but doesn't want to brand itself as Mississauga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1996 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 So is this Mexican team really from Mexico or are these guys local Mexican players being passed on as players from the Mexico indoor national team? Where are they getting the money to fly these guys in and feed them and put them up in a hotel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

to70 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Just heard about this game tomorrow night at the Hershey http://www.casasoccer.ca/ March 15th 2018, Hershey Centre. The Legend Returns Canadian Soccer Legend Dwayne De Rosario returns to the field to take on the National Arena Team of Brazil as part of the Canadian National Arena Team as they suit up for more fast action and furious excitement in an Arena Friendly between National Teams. The Hershey Centre should be bursting at the seams as De Ro’s return is expected to draw over 5000 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
