European Championship qualifier in January 2017

It was only in December 2015 that the DFB  established the  Futsal National Team after various camps to identify the first pool of players. In mid-September and mid-October Germany coach Paul Schomann invited his squad to two training camps. “The potential is clear to see,” said the coach.

This potential needs, in thecoming weeks and months, to bring to fruition as successful start for  the national futsal team. Two days after the first international match, both nations will compete for a second time (Tuesday, November 1 from 18 am). Both games will be broadcast by Sport 1 live on TV.

While the anticipation is rising for the first two official internationals, DFB already set the course for the future. The association expects the Futsal National team to qualify for the European Futsal Championship in Slovenia in 2018. 

Tickets for Futsal matches in Hamburg will be available in August.
