‘Champion of Champions’ Futsal

By Michaelangelo Jacobus

After a topsy-turvy round-robin phase, the business end of the inaugural ‘Champion of Champions’ Futsal tournament will start this evening, with Back Circle, Gold is Money, and North East La Penitence set for action at the National Gymnasium on Mandela Avenue.

Speaking ahead of tonight’s matches, Tournament Coordinator Troy Lambert said, “The tournament has exceeded expectations. Who would have imagined that both Sparta Boss and Bent Street, traditional giants in this format, would have failed to advance to the knockout round? That has never occurred in this format and is evidence of the highly competitive nature of the tournament.”
