FA Youth Futsal Cup Qualifiers Round-Up

Here's a round up of the Youth Futsal action from Paignton, Exeter and Plymouth over the last month

Over the last 2 months, Devon FA have hosted qualifying events for youth teams entering the FA Youth Futsal Cup. Sponsored by Pokémon, the Futsal Youth Cup by England Football is a national futsal competition open to clubs across England. The programme offers a competition for both boys and girls, at u10, u12, u14 & u16 age groups

In November, we received over 90 team entries from 37 youth clubs around the county, entering teams at various age groups.

In December & January, we hosted Local Qualifying events (Round 1 of the competition) across the county at:

  • Paignton
  • Exeter
  • Plymouth

Paignton Academy’s Indoor Futsal Hub hosted the County Finals (Round 2) on:

  • Girls Finals (Saturday 22nd January)
  • Boys Finals (Sunday 23rd January)

Congratulations to the following teams that have qualified for the regional finals stage (Round 3), hosted by the FA in Wolverhampton in May 2022:

   Boys Girls
U10 Fremington Hunter District
U12 Saints Southwest Devon Hunter District
U14 Horrabridge MAP Juniors

We wish all teams the best of luck in the Regional Finals and fingers-crossed for some Devon teams qualifying from this heat to the National Finals in June 2022

We are also pleased to share that in 2022, we have some exciting events and CPD opportunities in Futsal which players and Coaches with membership to our Coaches Academy will have access to. Keep an eye on our social media channels and Futsal page of the website for more information!
