Perth path for group rivals
Wednesday, 13 September 2006

Fair City Santos make Scotland’s UEFA Futsal Cup debut on Wednesday
and they have the honour of home advantage in preliminary round Group A.

Free admission
Santos welcome three teams to their home city of Perth
– their opening opponents, competition newcomers FC
Adana Yerevan of Armenia, second-time entrants Roubaix
Futsal from France, and Futsal Mad Max, the first club
to represent Finland in the competition. And to ensure
decent crowds on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday,
admission is free at the Bell’s Sports Centre.

One team through
The home side earned their qualification last month
with victory in the Scottish Futsal Premier League
Serie A play-offs, the last team to earn their entry.
Roubaix are in Britain for the second year running
having been pipped in London 12 months ago by Dinamo
Tbilisi of Georgia and Adana’s Armenian rivals Tal
Grig Yerevan. However, this time only one team from
the pool will advance, into Main round Group 3 against
Sporting Clube de Portugal, Macedonian champions KMF
Alfa Parf Skopje and Polish hosts Chorzów from 9-12
October.
