Footy Promotions held the Futsal Youth Awards at the National Sports Centre hockey pitch on Sunday.

The end-of-season presentation recognised the success of a campaign that had more than140 participants ranging in age from 8 to 14, with Bermuda Football Association president Mark Wade and technical director Maurice Lowe in attendance.

“The BFA views futsal as a great development tool for Bermuda players,” Wade said. “The league has given the players an opportunity to showcase the skills learnt and continue their development.

“The quality of play has been at a very high level. We are delighted to support the leagues and look forward to continued growth.”

Footy Promotions president Vinzie Zuill reflected on the success of the league.

“We are grateful for the annual support of the BFA and their commitment to youth development through futsal,” she said. “It was a great pleasure to host the Youth Futsal League.

“The players in the league entertained, showed off their futsal skills and most importantly had fun. The atmosphere was great and we looked forward to every Sunday.

“Congratulations to both Force Red teams, who won the league title in their respective age groups, and the award winners. We are proud of all the players and we wish them continued success.”
