The FA Youth Futsal Festival was held in Birmingham's Futsal Arena
A hectic and enthralling Futsal season was brought to an end in Birmingham last weekend at The FA National Youth Futsal Festival.

The two days of the Festival featured some fast and entertaining games of Futsal with over 600 goals scored in just under 200 games.

All age categories started off with an initial group stage, before the top two teams in each group qualified to play in the knock-out stages before it was onto the respective finals. 

And it was the knock-out stages that served up most of the drama, with eight of the 16 semi-finals going to a penalty shoot-out to bring a thrilling seven hours of Futsal to an end.

It did not end there, as when the final games were played on Sunday afternoon, the results were as follows:
