    The FIFA Futsal World Cup Colombia 2016 presentation ceremony will take place in the city of Cali on Tuesday 29 September, some 345 days before the start of the tournament, the eighth futsal world finals, which will run from 10 September to 1 October.
    A memorable occasion for Colombian futsal, the presentation ceremony will take place at 19:00 local time in the Salon Ritz at the Hotel Dann Carlton in Cali, and will mark the start of the countdown to a competition bringing together the top 24 teams in the world, with matches taking place in Cali, Medellin, Bucaramanga and Ibague.
    The event will reveal detailed information on the preparations being made by the host cities and will also see the launch of the official tournament emblem. Nearly 300 guests will be attending and they will each have the opportunity to have their photographs taken with the FIFA Futsal World Cup Winner's Trophy.
    Offering a warm welcome to those gathered at the event will be Luis Bedoya Giraldo, the deputy chairman of FIFA’s Futsal Committee and the chairman of the Colombian Football Association (FCF); Ramon Jesurun Franco, the chairman of the Colombia 2016 Local Organising Committee (LOC); and the Mayor of Cali, Rodrigo Guerrero Velasco. Also attending will be Colombia’s national futsal team coach Osmar Fonnegra, his national team captain Andres Camilo Reyes and Coldeportes CEO Andres Botero, along with a number of Colombian coaches and players and representatives of the local sports authorities in the host cities.
    “We are absolutely delighted to be organising this event in our country and with the efforts the four host cities have been making to meet all FIFA’s standard requirements,” said Jesurun Franco. “We know that the people of Colombia are going to catch futsal fever, and this major ceremony in Cali will provide an indication of the atmosphere we can expect in every arena during the 20 days of the competition.”  
    The Cali ceremony will provide the LOC with a stage for the official launch of the second FIFA competition to be organised by Colombia in the last five years, with the country having very successfully hosted the FIFA U-20 World Cup in 2011 in eight cities.

    The Official Emblem for the FIFA Futsal World Cup Colombia 2016 was unveiled today, 29 September, in a festive event at the Hotel Dann Carlton in Cali. The eighth edition of the competition, scheduled to be played from 10 September to 1 October 2016, will take place in the Colombian cities of Cali, Medellín, Bucaramanga and Ibagué.
    Among those present were Ramon Jesurún Franco, chairman of the Colombia 2016 Local Organising Committee (LOC); Luis Bedoya, deputy chairman of FIFA’s Futsal Committee and the chairman of the Colombian Football Association (FCF),  Rodrigo Guerrero Velasco, Mayor of Cali, Andrés Botero, Coldeportes Director, and Osmar Fonnegra, coach of the Colombian national team, among others. The event was hosted by Melina Ramírez and José Fernando Neira, presenters from Radio Cadena Nacional (RCN).
    Jesurun Franco was first to address the audience. "We are very happy with the effort of the municipal authorities that made it possible for four cities to host this competition. Today, less than 365 days from the tournament, we have here in Cali a venue that will host the national team of Colombia. The World Cup starts today with this event, and with it we tell the country and FIFA we are ready," said the chairman of the LOC.
    Then, it was Bedoya who took the stand. "To give you an idea of the importance of this form of football, since the first FIFA Futsal World Cup in 1989, this will be only the second time there will be 24 national teams that will play 52 matches in 23 days. Colombia has been on board on this evolution: in 2011 we had the league for the first time with 12 teams, and now we have 16 sides. Besides, big companies and their brands have joined us. In Colombia we also breathe futsal", said the chairman of the FCF.
    After a few words from Botero, who transmitted a message from the President of Colombia Juan Manuel Santos, and a video about the four cities that will be the venues of the tournament, it was Velasco who delivered a message. "I feel satisfaction, pride and joy that Cali was chosen as a venue. This city has extraordinary sports scenarios, supports the leagues and its athletes, and counts on fans that attend massively to sports activities. The sports unifies and surpasses barriers, something is needed in the world, and specially in Colombia", said the Mayor of Cali.
    Official emblem and look of the tournamentThe moment everyone was waiting for came via another video, which formally launched both the emblem and the design imagery that will accompany the tournament.

    The Official Emblem embodies Colombia’s rich history, traditional culture and unique landscape.  The design, based on the shape of the FIFA Futsal World Cup Official Trophy, takes a fresh direction with a fluid and abstract form and features the three colours of the Colombian national flag.
    The base represents the two seas that meet the country’s coastline – the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean. The body comprises the rugged peaks of the Andes and the ancient culture’s sacred Yurupari flute. The ball on top includes a human element, showing the country’s rich cultural diversity from ancient civilisations to the vibrancy and warm hospitality of the Colombian people today.
    The design of the Official Look evokes the festive, carnival atmosphere and diverse mix of culture that Colombia and its people are known for. The visual elements of the look represent the rich cultural, geographical and historical diversity of the South American country.
    Utilising a vibrant mix of colours from the country’s national flag and its lush, tropical landscape, the design features patterns and forms inspired by indigenous tapestries, pre-Columbian art and the wealth of homespun handicrafts and textiles that Colombia is famous for. Also represented is the country’s breath-taking geography and fauna, from the rugged mountains of the Andes to the luscious green rainforest and the azure Caribbean Sea.
    The presentation of the FIFA Futsal World Cup 2016 Winner’s Trophy was a highlight of the final moments of the event, which closed with a musical spectacle as the salsa choke group "Califlow" performed their popular hit "Ras Tas Tas".

    Futsal experts gather in Madrid

    Futsal seminar held in Madrid, Spain
    © FIFA.com
    Futsal instructors from around the globe came together in Spain in a bid to increase their abilities in spreading the game through the sharing of ideas and analysis to help build on the game's growing popularity.
    More than 30 experts in the sport descended on Madrid across four days in April, as the Spanish Football Federation hosted the seminar, which was aimed at developing the skills and know-how of the instructors.
    Led by Graeme Dell of England and Spain's Javier Lozano, they looked to focus on the lessons learnt from the FIFA Futsal World Cup Thailand 2012 and the UEFA Futsal EURO Belgium 2014, as well as including practical sessions and the exchange of regional approaches.
    Building on the previous seminar held three years ago, Dell believed the latest meeting had an even greater impact on attendees. "The participants felt that the seminar improved from the last one in 2011, so that's down to FIFA's vision for what the seminar was aimed to achieve," he reflected.
    Of those that took part, there were representatives from each of the six confederations, who were entrusted with sharing some of their development activities from grass-roots level, all the way up to those used with elite futsal.
    Paul Toohey, who attended on behalf of the OFC, said: “I felt very privileged to be able to present some of the outstanding futsal projects in countries such as Tahiti, New Zealand, Vanuatu and New Caledonia, while also highlighting the emerging futsal nations like American Samoa, Samoa and Tonga.”
    “I also spoke about the vital part futsal can and does play in the OFC Player Development Pathway. Futsal is now part of the OFC D Licence and Grassroots programmes and increasingly we are asking our Member Associations to consider futsal as a regular activity in their Development Centres and Centres of Excellence. And to extend their football seasons with futsal.”

    FUTSAL COLOMBIA 2015: VI Copa Claro-DFS Femenina - - Avanzaron Heroínas, Paisas, P&Z y Caimanas
















    Descripción: Descripción: DIVISION NACIONAL



     




     


    Gran cantidad de goles, 45, se marcaron en los 4 partidos de vuelta de los cuartos de final del torneo de las damas, que les depararon a tunjanas, antioqueñas, bogotanas y cundinamarquesas, el pasaporte a las semifinales, que comenzarán a jugarse el próximo fin de semana.


     


    Bogotá, 4.- Los quintetos de Heroínas de Tunja, P&Z Plus Bogotá Humana, Paisas de Girardota y Caimanas de Cundinamarca, jugarán la ronda de semifinales de la VI Copa Claro-DFS Femenina de Microfútbol.


     


    Mientras que las boyacenses, antioqueñas y cundinamarquesas se desquitaron de los resultados adversos de la semana pasada en los compromisos de ida de los cuartos de final, las bogotanas aunque perdieron en casa ante Cali Junior’s, avanzaron a la siguiente ronda, por su mejor diferencia de goles.


     


    Las Heroínas, que venían de sucumbir 4 por 2 en Manizales, se tomaron la revancha ante el Real Caldas, y las eliminaron tras ganar claramente en Tunja, 7 goles por 3.


     


    Las Paisas, que perdieron 1-0 en su visita a Cartagena, igualmente hicieron respetar la localía en Girardota y despacharon a las Mulatas Caribeñas, con un contundente 5 por 1.


     


    Las Caimanas, por su parte, que cedieron un empate 4-4 en Sibaté, se dieron el lujo en Chaparral de propinarles la única derrota en casa a las Pijaos Tolima, 8 goles contra 6, y consiguieron ubicarse entre las 4 mejores del torneo.


     


    En la capital de la República, mientras tanto, después de 40 espectaculares minutos de juego, con pasajes muy buenos y también muy flojos para ambos conjuntos, Cali Junior’s superó 8-7 a P&Z Plus Bogotá Humana, pero se quedó por fuera de la siguiente ronda, porque ocho días atrás en su reducto del Evangelista Mora, habían caído 5 por 2.


     


    Las bogotanas, que son las actuales campeonas del certamen, sufrieron mucho más de la cuenta y como las tolimenses, igualmente padecieron su primer


     


    revés en el Cayetano Cañizares. La fase inicial terminó 4 a 3 en favor de las vallecaucanas, que tras un generoso despliegue físico a la hora de marcar y efectividad a la hora de concretar, hicieron ver mal a las locales.


     


    En la segunda etapa, tras una reacción de las capitalinas, la pizarra se igualó a 5 tantos. Pero de nuevo las caleñas ‘carburaron’ y llegaron a estar arriba 8-5, a 3 minutos del pitazo final, lo que significaba que la definición de la llave tendría que hacerse desde el punto blanco de los 6 metros. Sin embargo, P&Z siguió atacando y finalmente logró descontar hasta el 8-7, con el que se liquidó el muy emocionante compromiso.


     


    Resultados


     


    Los marcadores de los 4 compromisos de vuelta de la etapa de cuartos de final de la VI Copa Claro-DFS Femenina de Microfútbol, fueron los siguientes:


     


    Llave Uno: Heroínas de Tunja IRDET 7, Real Caldas 3


    Llave Dos: Paisas Girardota 5, Mulatas Caribeñas 1


    Llave Tres: P&Z PLUZ Bogotá Humana 7, Cali Junior’s 8


    Llave Cuatro: Pijaos Tolima 6, Caimanas de Cundinamarca 8


     


    En las semifinales, en las que arrancarán de visitantes los quintetos con mejor campaña en la ronda clasificatoria, el programa del próximo fin de semana es el siguiente:


     


    En Sibaté, Caimanas de Cundinamarca Vs. Heroínas de Tunja.


    En Bogotá, P&Z Plus Bogotá Humana Vs. Paisas Girardota.
