- Comment. It is certainly not a professional team, as futsal is not played professionally in England, but this team does play at the highest level of English futsal, and professionalism is usually used as a standard of notability for individual players, with the bar for clubs being rather lower. However futsal has a much lower profile in England than in, say, Brazil or Spain, and I can find very little independent coverage of this club. ]
