MFCC FUTSAL PROGRAM EOIs

Term 4 2025 to Term 1 2026

Update: 2025/26 Futsal Program Status & Future Registration

Thank you to everyone who registered for the 2025/26 Futsal Program!

We were delighted by the huge volume of applications. The program's success meant that many age groups were filled quickly. Unfortunately, due to high demand and limitations around GESAC's competition structure (either not enough applicants for a specific age group, or not enough competing teams available), we were unable to place every player.

The current Futsal Program is now running.

If you missed out this time or simply want to guarantee you receive the earliest possible notification for future Futsal opportunities (including the next season's program), please submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) using the link below. This will ensure you are prioritized for future communication.

Maccabi FC Futsal EOI

Want to play club futsal in the off season?

Join Maccabi’s all-inclusive futsal program for boys and girls—designed to develop skills, build confidence, and foster a love for the game in a professional and welcoming club environment.

Whether you’re an existing Maccabi player or new to the club, this is your chance to stay sharp in the offseason and discover the fast-paced world of futsal.

What is Futsal?

Futsal is a fast-paced, small-sided version of football (soccer) played indoors on a hard court. It’s played with 5 players per team (including a goalkeeper) and uses a smaller, heavier ball with less bounce to encourage close control, quick decision-making, and creativity.
