Odesur Games 2006

FIFA.com) 21 Nov 2006

Brazil's futsal team were in no mood for surprises at the VIII Odesur Games Buenos Aires 2006, where as expected they took the gold medal after an emphatic 6-0 victory over Paraguay in the final. Argentina, for their part, had the consolation of bronze thanks to their 2-1 win over Ecuador in the match for 3rd place. In claiming gold again this year, Brazil retained the title they won on home soil at the 2002 Odesur Games, the first edition in which futsal was officially recognised.
The tournament, which was played at the Polideportivo "Islas Malvinas" Stadium in the city of Mar del Plata, doubled up as the qualifiers for the PanAmerican Games Rio de Janeiro 2007, for which Paraguay, Argentina and Ecuador sealed their places. Brazil, as hosts, qualify automatically.
