President Figueiredo (AM) – The municipality of Presidente Figueiredo (120 kilometers from Manaus) seeks to reveal talents in the sport, in the interior of the Amazon. Athletes in soccer, jiu-jitsu, wrestling, among others.

Thus, the City Hall, through the Municipal Department of Youth, Sports and Leisure (Semjel), developed a project to carry out the 1st Futsal Cup in Presidente Figueiredo.

Entries, which are free, continue until this Friday (20), from 8am to 12pm, at the Semjel building, located at Praça da Juventude, in Bairro Galo da Serra.

The event is aimed at children, youth and adults, divided into categories under-9 (children born between 2015/2016), under-11 (born between 2013/2014), under-13 (Between 2011/2012), under -15 (2009/2010), under-17 (2007/2008) and under-19 (2004/2005/2006), in the men’s modality; and for women, they will be under-17 (girls from 2007/2008) and under-20 (2004/2005/2006).

Semjel’s portfolio holder, Aury Nascimento, says that “the project arose from the need to include children and adolescents in this age group for the development of futsal since this type of event does not usually take place for this audience. That from this year will be on the sports calendar of the municipality “.

“This championship will be important to reveal talents, which will make up the Futsal Selection of Presidente Figueiredo”,

reveals Robson Eloi, member of the event’s organizing committee.

He explains that during the championship, Semjel will select the best under-15 and under-17 players to compose Presidente Figueiredo’s Futsal Team and, thus, these athletes will be able to represent the municipality in the Amazonense Futsal League competition, which will be held in Manaus.

The 1st Presidente Figueiredo Futsal Cup will be held at the Poliesportivo Gymnasium of Morada do Sol, on a date to be confirmed by the commission. Prizes will be medals and trophies for the top finishers. Participating teams will be composed of a minimum of 5 to a maximum of 10 players per category.
