 | | Forty coaches and referees from Norway, Finland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands will gather in Oslo for the seminars, which will be conducted by widely-experienced international coaches and referees from blind futsal. The seminars will be held in the Ullevaal Stadion, Norway’s national football stadium, before moving on to Oslo University for the practical sessions. Spanish internationalist Carmelo Garrido will be on site to demonstrate his skills and abilities during the hands-on sessions. The seminars are part of IBSA’s Futsal Development Project Europe, made possible thanks to financial support from Uefa and aimed at further developing and spreading the game in Europe. Blind sports organisations, National Paralympic Committees and Uefa member associations from every European country will be given the opportunity to attend one of a series of seminars to be held in a variety of countries. The 6th IBSA B1 Futsal European Championships were held recently in Athens, Greece, and defending champions Spain came out on top, defeating the United Kingdom 5-0 in the final. Seven teams competed for the title and both Spain and the UK secured qualification for Beijing 2008. The IBSA B2/B3 Futsal European Championships will take place in Ankara, Turkey, from December 1st – 9th 2007. Ten teams, including reigning world and European champions Belarus, will take part.
