The presence of Bolivian and Australian futsal teams in the semifinals of the III FIFUSA Intercontinental Futsal Club Cup, considering the excellent teams that were left behind, speaks highly of the promising future that awaits world futsal.
Two Argentine teams will face the foreign squads in this penultimate stage of an Intercontinental Cup, which, thanks to both its present and past, has Jockey Club from Mendoza, Argentina, as the clear favorite. It is the only team that has won all its matches.
In the quarterfinals, Deportivo Amistad from Bolivia defeated Colorado from Brazil 3-1; Jockey beat Guerreros Pijaos from Colombia 6-1; Flamengo from Comodoro Rivadavia thrashed their fellow Argentinians from Casa Magallanes 7-1; and in the most intense match of all, Futsal United overcame Uruguaiana from Brazil in a penalty shootout after finishing 3-3 in regulation time.
