For the 2nd consecutive year, 9 de Octubre FC (pronounced nueve, not nine) has represented Ontario in the Futsal Canadian Championship in Calgary, and for the 2nd consecutive year they’re Futsal Canadian Champions. This is an incredible feat that should not go unnoticed.

The team was led by;
Matthew Rios (Captain)
Joshua Lemos (Finals MVP)
Andy Baquero (Tournament MVP)
