The Philippines will host the first-ever FIFA Women’s Futsal World Cup next year after the International Football Federation Congress made the official announcement two days ago. I don’t know how the country pulled this off, but who cares? This will definitely boost futsal, especially women’s, in the country that hopefully will also help football as well.
The initial futsal world championship was held, as expected, in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1982, since then the Brazilians have figured prominently in the championships. It was in 1989 that FIFA would eventually adopt the sport. Futsal gained popularity due to its faster pace, creativity, level of skills and practicality. Unlike a regular pitch, futsal can be played, ironically but most welcome, inside a regular basketball court, whether in cement or wooden floor. The country’s rainy season somehow was also a factor in many ways. When kids can’t play football because of the rains due to the numerous typhoons the country usually has every year. They brought the sport inside the basketball courts.
Good friend, classmate and Bedan brother Peter Lopez is set to open his basketball summer camp in June and July. His Audience of One Skills Academy will offer the basics, the rudiments, mindset and other worthy skills needed in basketball for boys aging from 12 years and under; 14 and under; 16 and under; and 18 and under. The camp will run for eight two hour sessions at the Alabang Hills Village Clubhouse Covered Court.
