Futsal
Club information
The 5-a-side game, that originated in South America, is growing in popularity and opportunities within the UK. The University sector currently boasts the largest Futsal league structure, with the emerging FA National Futsal League and England National Futsal Team climbing the world rankings.
The Club committee believes that both teams can achieve success on the court this season, under the guidance of our qualified coaches. The Men's side will be competing in Midlands 2B and the Women's teams, who are in just their 3rd season will also be competing in the 2nd tier of the Midlands tables.
Unlike most BUCS teams, Futsal is played at the weekends so there's no excuse not to join.
Facilities
We are based at the Sports Arena at Bedford campus. There are frequent trains from Luton, and a free University bus from the Bedford train station that stops right on campus, making it an easy venue to get to.
