Manchester Futsal Club are pleased to announce that the club and players have joined the campaign to lobby officials to bring futsal to the London Olympics in 2012. Following positive correspondence with the Federacao Paulista de Futsal, the organizing committee behind the ‘We want Olympic Futsal’ global movement, the teams were presented with official t-shirts and merchandise to raise awareness of the campaign. Commenting on the initiative, Simon Wright and Ilya Ovechkin co-founders of Manchester Futsal club both said “To launch the game of futsal into the Olympic arena, especially in London would bring a much needed springboard in awareness and promotion of the game to a UK audience.”
