England Futsal and Our Key Partnerships to Drive Player and Coach Development

England Futsal is proud to champion a series of strategic value-in-kind partnerships with leading organisations across sport, health, and technology — all united by a shared commitment to advancing player development, coach education, and welfare across England Futsal.

These partnerships support the foundation of England Futsal’s ongoing mission to provide the best possible environments for players and coaches to learn, grow, and perform.

Championing Player Health and Wellbeing – Women’s Health Partners

Through our Women’s Health Partners, we are enhancing the specific support available to female players across our Performance Pathway.

Nixi Body provides specialist, leak-proof underwear designed to offer comfort, protection, and confidence during training and competition. This partnership promotes awareness, education, and access to practical solutions that help players manage their wellbeing and perform at their best.

Nixi have already begun working with our Lionesses within the Performance Programme and will be growing the partnership within our Talent Development Programme moving forwards.

Moreover, our collaboration with IDA Sports is enabling us to provide female athletes with the opportunity to access female specific futsal shoes to support their performance with many of the current Lionesses using IDA footwear.

By working with experts in women’s health, England Futsal is taking proactive steps to create a more inclusive and supportive sporting environment — one where every player can thrive.

Prioritising Player Welfare – Safeguard Me

Player safety and welfare remain central to England Futsal within our Performance Pathway. Our partnership with Safeguard Me strengthens our ability to maintain the highest safeguarding standards across all performance environments.

Safeguard Me offers a secure, digital platform for staff and volunteer vetting: creating individual “Passports” that hold DBS and other safeguarding checks, plus the ability to monitor compliance in real time via a traffic-light dashboard. The Safeguard Me system streamlines the process of ensuring everyone involved with players is ‘Checked, Safe and Ready’ to deliver. 

By integrating Safeguard Me’s tools and expertise, England Futsal can give players and parents within the Performance Pathway the confidence that our staff are verified, trained and monitored — enabling a transparent, safe, and player-first culture throughout.

Driving Data-Driven Performance – Indoordata

Indoordata’s online platform enables England Futsal to centralise the management of teams, players and staff, plan training sessions with precision, log match and training data, and generate detailed statistics and reports for players. 

By integrating these advanced data-insights into coaching and match preparation, we will be better able to support players and coaches to make smarter, evidence-based decisions — helping to bridge the gap between learning and elite performance.

This partnership represents a key step in our strategy to ensure that every session, every practice and every match is supported by objective feedback, measurable progress and continuous improvement.
