Club news

Carlisle Futsal Club is delighted to unveil GMB Union as the official sponsor of our first team for season 2020/21. GMB is a trade union that represents all workers. On every workplace issue, from individuals facing disciplinaries, to bullying at work, to making sure you get proper maternity or paternity rights or simply making sure that your workplace is a safe place to be – GMB is there for their members.

Further to our announcement on 2nd March regarding our planned return to play we are delighted to be able to release the details of our first phase return.  As communicated previously our first phase return will involved outdoor training in Carlisle only. The following sessions will be launched as part of our first phase return starting on 7th April 2021. 

We closed the Club on the 17th March 2020 following government guidance to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. 5 months have now passed and whilst most outdoor sports have returned the news is not as positive for indoor sports. Our governing body have not yet permitted Futsal to return but even when it does get the green light from the FA we will be reliant on indoor venues being able to operate without restriction and until this happens a return to our normal activities will not be possible.

Carlisle Futsal Club can now confirm that it has been promoted to Tier 2 of the Futsal pyramid in England and will compete in the National Futsal Series Two for the 2020/21 season.  After gaining promotion to the National Futsal League Premiership North at the end of the 2019/20 season it had been envisaged that the Club would continue to compete at Tier 3 for the coming season where, due to our location, it was felt that the competition model was the best fit for our Club. However, following an internal review at the Club and a successful application process the decision has been made to compete in The National Futsal Series for the coming season on the basis that it will provide the Club with the best opportunity to realise its ambitions over the next 10 years.
