SQAD-Futsal-Challenge: Germany to face six-time world champions Brazil in anniversary match
Germany will celebrate the tenth anniversary of their national futsal team with a high-profile game against Brazil on 9th December 2026. Marcel Loosveld’s side will face the reigning world champions and record six-time winners at the SAP Garden in Munich as part of the SQAD-Futsal-Challenge, which will also feature a world first for international futsal.
“We’re hugely excited about this special game in our anniversary year,” said Loosveld. “Brazil are one of the strongest futsal nations in the world and our aim is to test ourselves against the reigning world champions and record six-time winners. The more fans we have behind us in this fantastic arena in Munich, the more memorable the evening will be for all of us.”
Raising the profile of futsal
