Match officials appointed to the 2025 Futsal Canadian Championship

Canada Soccer has appointed match officials for the 2025 Futsal Canadian Championship including 12 referees and assistant referees for the annual competition in Regina, Saskatchewan. The national appointment will be supported by local referees and assistant referees appointed by Saskatchewan Soccer.

Canada Soccer’s 2025 Futsal Canadian Championship will be played from 10-13 April with matches played in the REAL District at both the Brandt Centre and Brunswick Steel Arena. All four medal matches will be played at the Brandt Centre on Sunday 13 April. The men’s Final is scheduled to kickoff 12.00 noon local (14.00 EDT / 12.00 CST) followed by the women’s Final at 14.00 local (16.00 EDT / 14.00 CST).

Futsal is an exciting and fast-paced sport played indoors on a small court with five players to each side. It features a sport-specific ball that does not bounce the same way as a traditional football bounces on grass or turf and the sport features its own unique Futsal Laws of the Game which differ from traditional football. Each match features two 20-minute halves with the clock stopped each time the match is interrupted as well as rolling substitutions so that players can come in and out of the match.

Canada Soccer remains dedicated to elevating futsal’s profile and providing platforms for athletes to excel. The 2025 Futsal Canadian Championship in Regina represents a pivotal opportunity to advance these goals. Hosting the competition will inspiring increased participation in futsal at the grassroots level throughout Saskatchewan, too. Just this past year, the Saskatoon Green & White women’s futsal team became the first team outside of Ontario or Québec to win the Futsal Canadian Championship.
