City of Peterborough Futsal Centre
Founded: 2014
Location: Peterborough, Cambridgeshire
About: City of Peterborough Futsal Centre (COPFC) is a dedicated futsal organisation based in Peterborough, providing opportunities for players from 18 months through to senior level.
We work with over 300 children and players every week across 35+ sessions, supporting boys and girls at every stage of their futsal journey.
Our pathway includes early-years futsal, development centres, squad programmes, girls’ futsal, junior and youth teams, and senior futsal.
Our aim is to develop players through futsal in the right way — building technical ability, decision-making, creativity, confidence and a genuine love for the game.
Alongside regular training and competition, we provide opportunities to play in tournaments, friendlies and international competitions, helping our players experience futsal both locally and on the international stage.
Our Proudest Moment: Our proudest achievement isn’t one trophy or one result — it’s building a futsal family, both on and off the court.
From our littlest players taking their first steps with a ball to our senior players, we have created a community where people can grow, develop and make lifelong friendships and memories through futsal.
We’re proud to have spent more than a decade developing futsal the right way, creating a genuine pathway from our youngest players through to adults, while helping generations of players and families fall in love with the game.
For us, success is about the people, the memories and the lasting impact of futsal just as much as what happens on the scoreboard.

Our current U11 group are the first Fleckney team to try futsal, having had our first experience in November 2024.
