This is a massive step forward for our club and will allow us to provide the best possible Futsal experience for players of all ages and reach our aim of providing Futsal for everyone to enjoy for years to come."We would like to thank Foundation of Light for giving Futsal the opportunity to grow by giving us the opportunity to help them develop it as a priority sport. "We cannot wait to start working together and we are already preparing for next season both on and off the court." Established in 2012, Pumas Futsal Club was introduced to youth football teams in Washington as a way of playing sport during the winter months. A men's team was introduced on 2016 with the plan of creating a progression pathway for younger players. Futsal has been chosen as a Beacon of Light 'priority sport' alongside Netball, Badminton, Table Tennis and Basketball with the Foundation creating Centres of Excellence to give youngsters the opportunity to take part in team sports. Jamie Wright, Foundation of Light Assistant Director, added: "We are delighted to welcome Pumas Futsal Club to the Beacon of Light as a partner club. "The Beacon will truly be a world-class venue hosting multiple sports with players enjoying the best training and playing facilities including pitches, courts and changing areas as well as seating and refreshment areas for supporters. "We are committed to providing exciting opportunities to get involved in a number of sports and will be announcing further details in the very near future."
