Canada Soccer has announced this year’s Futsal Canadian Championship taking place at Queen’s University will feature an expanded list of eight teams from five provinces and two territories.

The 2018 Futsal Canadian Championship will take place in Kingston April 19 to 22. All matches will be streamed LIVE via CanadaSoccer.com with the final game set for Sunday, April 22 at 2:30pm ET.
