Table of Contents
Rio Grande, Argentina – The Celtics of Villa Mercedes, San Luis, emerged victorious at the First Federal Amateur Regional Tournament of Futsal AFA AFA (Championship Zone), a premier national event sanctioned by the Federal Argentine Football Council. The Celtics showcased their dominance, defeating Luna Park 8-4 in the final and maintaining a perfect 5-0 record throughout the competition. Their performance was reminiscent of the Golden State Warriors’ dominant run in the NBA playoffs,leaving no doubt about their status as the team to beat.
Sportivo Pringles, also from San Luis, secured third place, routing Hispanic American Gallegos 9-3 to round out the podium. The tournament highlighted the growing popularity and competitive spirit of futsal, a fast-paced, small-sided version of soccer, across Argentina.
Truckers’ Dream derailed
The Rio Grande truck drivers team faced a challenging final day of qualifying. They needed a win against the rowers of Alberdi, Rosario, and favorable results from the Luna Park vs. Municipal School of Ushuaia match, as well as the Hispanic American vs. Sportivo Pringles game. The situation was akin to a team needing a “win and get in” scenario on the final day of the MLB regular season.
The “Truckers,” as they are known, delivered on their part, overcoming a slow start to defeat Alberdi’s rowers. Luciana Corregidor’s opening goal in the 11th minute sparked a scoring surge, followed by two fast goals from Malena Camperi, a key addition to the team. Magalí García and Valeria Sánchez also contributed,giving the Truckers a commanding 5-1 lead at halftime.
The second half saw the Truckers continue to control the game,adding three more goals courtesy of Maia Gatica,Karen Ramírez,and a viral-worthy goal from Camperi,who executed a stunning half-turn volley. The final score: 8-1.
However, their fate rested on the outcomes of other matches. Sportivo Pringles and Hispanic American both secured victories, leaving the Municipal School of Ushuaia needing a win against Luna Park to keep the Fueguinas’ hopes alive. A draw wouldn’t be enough. The pressure was on, similar to a college basketball team needing an upset to secure an NCAA tournament bid.
The Municipal School of Ushuaia battled to a 4-4 draw, crushing the Truckers’ semifinal aspirations.While the Fueguinas teams fell short this year, the experience gained will undoubtedly fuel their ambition for the 2026 tournament.
