IE Palm Futsal debuted big time this year in the Champions League. After being a finalist in the league playoff last year, the national runner-up gave square in the highest European competition. He arrived as a rookie and was planted in the Final Four: overcame a demanding first round in Belgium and then did the same in the Elite Phase, in which Son Moix was the venue.
the final phase of the Champions League will play from May 4 to 7 with the Portuguese from Sporting and Benfica, the Belgians of Anderlecht (executioners of the barca and that they were already in the first phase with Palma) and the aforementioned Balearic team. The venue remains to be known, a decision that is expected to be forthcoming, and Palma is attentive: it is one of the candidates. “It seems that the headquarters will be known soon, maybe this week, but we want to know it now, either in case we organize it or to prepare a trip to our fans”, José Tirado, the team’s sports director, told this outlet. Given that Son Moix does not meet the necessary requirements to host the Final Four, from the club they have proposed to UEFA the Palma Velodromevenue where the team He already played between 2011 and 2014, and with a greater capacity.
On the island they know that UEFA’s preference is another: Poland. And currently there is a big problem: this country prohibits the entry of Russians with tourist visas, and both Sporting and Benfica have players of this nationality in their squads. If this matter is resolved, Poland will host. Otherwise, the Final Four will go to Palma. “It would be ideal for everyone. Good weather, full stands, the Portuguese a two-hour flight away…”, said Tirado.
