Futsal Navy Blues ready for Travel Series
AUCKLAND, New Zealand - Auckland City FC's Futsal Navy Blues are set for the Northern Travel Series showdown with Bay of Plenty Surge and Waikato Rapids after an intense preparation.
News talent has been brought in with Eduardo Exposito Espinsoa and goalkeeper Guilherme Garbuglia alongside long standing Futsal Navy Blues like Stephen Ashby-Peckham, Josh Margetts and goalkeeper Mike Antamanov to give City a new look for 2023.
Margetts said: "It's been a period of transition with a number of players coming in from East Coast Bays so developing understanding of what the club, its culture and objectives are takes time to gel.
"We've got a strong team with a lot of Futsal Whites experience and there are definitely more players in our squad who are close to representing New Zealand.
"We're excited for the season ahead," Margetts said.
