menuNFPL Matchweek 14 Preview
The National Futsal Premier League returns to the court for Matchweek 14 with 3 games! With playoffs right around the corner, every point matters as teams fight for seeding. There are just two matchweeks left before playoffs! Get all the details here.
COLUMBUS FUTSAL (H) VS. Cadence SFC (A)
Columbus Futsal meet Cadence SFC in Matchweek 14 at Westwood Fieldhouse in Columbus. A few weeks ago in Matchweek 11 saw Cadence win 9-5 over Columbus Futsal in Illinois.
Columbus are currently riding a 2-game win streak and have improved over the season, especially at home. Cadence SFC have lost two in a row and have yet to win an away game this season.
3rd place in the NFPL remains an achievable target for this Columbus team, and one worth setting their sights on. They'll need Ginga FS and Cadence SFC to take points from Futsal Factory Academy to ensure it.
KEY PLAYERS:
Columbus Futsal:
• Yul Illidge
• Victor Barbosa
• Zak Boggs
Cadence SFC:
• Josue Pfrommer
• Guilherme Nunes
• Edrik Padilla
DETAILS:
• Date: Friday, April 8th
• Time: 7:00 PM EST
• Location: NCBC Gymnasium, 3400 Kohr Blvd. Columbus, OH, 43224
Ginga FS (H) VS. Futsal Factory Academy (A)
The reverse fixture between Ginga FS and Futsal Factory Academy was much earlier in the season: Matchweek 7. In that game, Futsal Factory Academy escaped with a hard-fought 5-4 win at home in which Ginga FS came back from down 2 goals late in the game but conceded with under a minute to play.
3rd-place is still available for Ginga FS this season, although they'll need to win this match and home Cadence SFC can do the same on Sunday. Futsal Factory Academy have their playoff destiny in their own hands as a win will clinch 3rd-place and at least one playoff game in front of their home fans.
KEY PLAYERS:
Ginga FS:
• Erik Hegerty
• Jorge Guinovart
• Nick Rumisek
Futsal Factory Academy:
• Robert Damron
• Ahmed Zaky
• Drew Ducker
DETAILS:
• Date: Friday, April 8th
• Time: 7:00 PM EST
• Location: Flock Sports Entertainment Center
• Streaming: Ginga FS Streaming

Futsal Factory Academy (H) VS. CADENCE SFC (A)
Futsal Factory Academy will play their final game of their season at home against Cadence SFC. The last time these two teams met was in Matchweek 10. FFA took all 3 points on the road that day, winning 6-4 over the Illinois futsal club.
At this point in the season, it seems inevitable that Cadence SFC will be hitting the road for their initial playoff game, which could be a tough trip to Grand Rapids or Minnesota. Futsal Factory Academy can clinch 3rd-place with just 1 win this weekend and seem most likely to get it at home on Sunday against Cadence SFC.
KEY PLAYERS:
Futsal Factory Academy:
• Robert Damron
• Ahmed Zaky
• Drew Ducker
Cadence SFC:
• Josue Pfrommer
• Guilherme Nunes
• Edrik Padilla
MATCH DETAILS:
• Date: Saturday, April 9th
