In the last week of September, Albury & Wodonga's sports stadiums will come under attack in the form of Vikings Futsal's National School Championships.
Held from the 28th to the 30th of the month, the focal point of the Futsal School's calender, will be fought out by more then 120 sides from across Australia and New Zealand, all striving for national honours.
With almost 1200 participants & countless numbers of coaches, supporters & officials, the Albury & Wodonga areas will become a sea of enthusiasm, athleticism & colour.
Teams consist of players chosen as being the best in their school's region. Vikings have 38 regions across the country that conduct School Titles. This year in addition to these sides from across all states of Australia, the tournament will also feature regions from across the Tasman, flying the flag for the silver ferns.
The flow on effects from staging such a large event are countless. The local community will benefit greatly from accommodating, feeding & entertaining the entire Vikings invasion for the 3 day period.
