Futsal is growing, but a comparison between the 5-a-side football division and the Serie A clubs is urgently needed

The growth of Futsal is evident. “There has been great growth in the product, it is undeniable. We have lowered the average age and invested in training. We will leave an upwardly-oriented system to those who come after”, declared Luca Bergamini, President of the Futsal Division , in an interview with Corriere dello Sport.

Concepts that can be shared, especially after the spectacle of game 3 of the championship final between Napoli Futsal and Meta Catania. However, the presidents of the newly established Lega Serie A Futsal Consortium invite a more in-depth analysis.

“If on the one hand the growth of the movement is undeniable, it is equally true that this growth is mainly due to the investments of the companies, which without any support from the division, commit their own resources and structures”, underline the participants in the Consortium.

The clubs ask for an urgent discussion with the President of the Futsal Division, who was absent from the award ceremony of the Italian champion team in match 3 of the Scudetto. “This comparison must be based on the awareness of the organizational and economic difficulties of the top national tournament and on the need to involve the teams in communication planning, marketing activities and resource management”.

“It must not be forgotten that the top flight clubs currently have no visibility into the management of the Division’s commercial revenues, in the creation of calendars and, above all, in the management of the renewal of TV rights. A renewal that must take place by identifying a broadcaster ready to enhance the product Futsal and to make important investments”, report the presidents of the Lega Serie A Futsal Consortium.

“We hope for a transparent and profitable discussion for the valorization of Futsal through the convening of an official meeting with the representatives of the consortium to discuss concrete and stable initiatives, going into detail on the proposed themes. The Futsal Division must understand the daily difficulties of society, working together to guarantee the necessary support. The objective is to create a constructive and transparent discussion to anticipate the problems of a management that has become increasingly less shared and not attentive to the needs of the clubs the President will positively evaluate the initiative of the nascent consortium and will be quick to identify a date for a formal convocation”, conclude the clubs.

Participating in the Consortium: Active Network Viterbo, Benevento 5, Came Treviso, Ecocity Futsal Genzano, Feldi Eboli, L84 Turin, Vitulano Drugstore Manfredonia, Meta Catania, Napoli Futsal, Olimpus Rome, Piroxy Cosenza, Fortitudo Pomezia 1957, Sandro Abate Avellino and Sporting Sala Consilina Futsal.
