The president of the National District Football Association has announced that the First Futsal Grand Prix is scheduled to take place in Santo Domingo on 1 and 2 February. Futsal is played on a smaller pitch than a normal soccer field and between two teams of five players. National District Football Association president Adalberto Rodriguez said that futsal is a first phase to producing good soccer players. Futsal is catching on worldwide because the courts can provide playable space at a smaller cost in a smaller area. <\/p>\n
Teams from Guatemala, Cuba, Haiti and the DR will be playing in the first event. <\/p>\n
The Grand Prix is sponsored by the Ministry of Sports and will take place at the futsal court at the Volleyball Pavilion of the Juan Pablo Duarte Olympic Center. <\/p>\n
