Regional Futsal LeaguesThis is a featured page

The Football Association, in 2008, announced the formation of three regional Futsal leagues with the hope of improving the standard of Futsal within England. With only the FA Futsal Cup to play for every season, it was felt that this was not enough competitive Futsal to raise the standard of English players available to the England Head Coach

The Futsal season runs from March to September each year.

The three regional leagues are based in London (South), Sheffield (North) and Birmingham (Midlands)

The Midland Conference comprises of 7 teams and all fixtures are played at Nechells Community Sports Centre, Birmingham.
