England Futsal Euros - Support Ivan Cadete Borges

Please take 2mins to read my story:

At 15 years old I found myself without confidence and without self-belief in my own abilities as a sportsman and as a person, I had fallen out of love with the sport of Football due to various reasons. However, having played Futsal as well for most my life, it was always a sport that brought me great joy. The constant action and need for ball control was something that really aligned with me. So I followed my passion for the sport. Playing for CM Futsal, I was able to light that fire in me again. At 18, CM gave me the opportunity to come to Loughborough University, here I was able to exponentially develop my Futsal capabilities. 2 years later, after consistent hard work, I can now call myself an England Futsal player.

Unfortunately, during COVID the FA completely removed funding for England Futsal. Earlier this year, England Futsal made a comeback in order to compete in the Euros. Still without funding, we’ve worked hard to raise a significant portion of the funds required, but we are still short of our target. I never thought that I would be put in this position as a player, asking my own community to contribute to my dream of earning a cap for this country. So I ask you today to help me meet my target of £2000 in order for me to contribute to my team's funding pot.

I have until October 25th to raise as much money as I can. If my target is met and we still fall short on funding. Then I will ensure to refund this money to all of you immediately.
