Today Futsal comes back to the borough in a big way with the announcement that FA Umbro National League side FS Northaw are changing their name to Futsal Club Enfield and will be training in the borough once again and also linking up with the Enfield Futsal League to bring Futsal back to the borough with league games being played at Enfield College and Albany School.

Secretary Rob Brassett said 'This is something we have wanted to do for some time we are very grateful to Northaw Football Club for assisting us when it was needed are the start of the season'

This brings National League Futsal to the Borough and is an exciting time for the side having recently beaten two of the top teams in the country White Bear and

It was felt to assist the side in it progression it should take on the name of Enfield the Borough it come from and therefore be in a position to represent the Borough better, The move would also assist the club with advertising and sponsorship and increasing its profile.
