THE BEAUTIFUL GAMEs
It’s all about people. Balls, games, goals, passion – and people. Whether it’s a street skirmish, frenetic futsal five-a-side or pro football panache, it’s people & communities who matter most – whatever the beautiful game.
Futsalstreetspot.com celebrates diversity & explores the universal sweet spot – the street spot – of playful learning & intensity with a ball at the feet. For young & old alike. For players, coaches and fans. Because there’s much more to sport than what happens on the pitch.
