CHICAGO (April 23, 2008) - Earlier this week the U.S. National Futsal Team was drawn into Group B of the 2008 CONCACAF Futsal Championship along with Costa Rica, Panama and Haiti. The tournament will take place June 3-8 at the Domo Polideportivo in Guatemala City, Guatemala. The top three teams will represent CONCACAF at the 2008 FIFA Fustal World Cup in Brazil from Sept. 30 until Oct. 19.
In 2004, the United States won the CONCACAF Futsal Championship tournament by compiling a 3-0-2 record that included a 4-0 semifinal victory over host Costa Rica. As a result, the team, lead by head coach Keith Tozer, earned an automatic berth to the 2004 FIFA Futsal World Cup in Chinese Taipei where they advanced to the second round. The United States also won the inaugural CONCACAF Championship in 1996.
The U.S. National Futsal Team finished in the top three at the first two FIFA Futsal World Cups in 1989 and 1992, and the team's second place finish in Hong Kong in 1992 is its best ever result.
The 2008 CONCACAF Futsal Championship marks the first time in 12 years that the event has returned to Guatemala, after the last two editions were held in Costa Rica. In addition to the U.S. and its opponents in Group B, Cuba, Mexico, and Trinidad & Tobago join hosts Guatemala in the other half of the draw (Group A).

RIO DE JANIERO, Brazil (July 28, 2007) – U.S. goalkeeper Brett Philips saved Isven Roman’s effort in the penalty-kick shootout as the U.S. clinched fifth place at the 2007 Pan American games 5-4 on a penalty kick shootout after tying 2-2 in regulation.
John Ball and Troy Dusosky scored in the first half for the U.S., while Yampier Rodriguez and Eduardo Morales struck for Cuba.

RIO DE JANIERO, Brazil (July 25, 2007) – The U.S. Futsal National Team topped CONCACAF rival Costa Rica 6-5 with two goals in the closing minutes in the final Group B game of the 2007 Pan American Games.
The win gives the U.S. four points from three games, but a minus two goal differential leaves them in third place in the group behind Argentina (7 points) and Costa Rica (4 points / +1 goal differential). The U.S. begins play in the consolation bracket on Friday vs. Guatemala.
The first half was relatively quiet on the score sheet, with a fourth minute goal by Pat Morris of the U.S. being the only tally for either team.
The second half, however, was a different story. Costa Rica came out with a 22nd minute goal by Jefryd Ruiz, but the U.S. then scored the next three as Matt Stewart (29th minute), Joe Hammes (31st minute) and Denison Cabral (32nd minute) all scored in a four minute span.
Costa Rica battled back, however, answering as Ruiz, Vindas (2) and Alejandro Paniagua gave the ticos a one goal lead going into the final minute of the game.
The U.S. side, however, provide it’s resilience as Stewart and Cabral each scored their second goal of the game in the 40th minute to give the U.S. its first victory of the Pan Am games.
