Weekend results decided which teams could claim to be the best men’s and women’s futsal teams in the country, and we now know who’ll contest the Grand Final of the Men’s National League.
In the Women’s National League, weekend games have determined the Grand Final will be an all-Auckland affair but we’ll have to wait at least another week to find out the two teams to make it.
And in Wellington, 5,213 fans turned out to support the history-making first game on home soil by the Phoenix women’s A-League side.
Here are all the details from a big weekend of football for November 18-20:
