This is one of the most crucial stepping stones for all Home Nation teams, as they seek to participate in International Deaf Football Competitions.

England is sending Mens and Women's Futsal teams to the competition, with 24 men's teams and 12 women's teams in the tournament.

The number of participations has increased two-fold, since the last EDSO Futsal tournament in Sofia, Bulgaria in 2002.

Players will be considered for the England Deaf Futsal team if they play for either a deaf team or mainstream team in FA sanctioned Regional Futsal competitions.
