Beckham Harvey of Marion has an exciting journey this month. He, along with his futsal team FC Flair of Marlboro, are headed to the World Futsal Cup in Spain later this month. Futsal is an indoor soccer variant played on a smaller pitch; this makes it more fast-paced.
On Christmas Eve, Beckham, family, and team will travel to Barcelona. They will stay there until the tournament on New Year’s Eve. FC Flair are currently the national futsal champs for their 2015 age group.
Excited for the odyssey, Beckham said, “I can’t wait to go to Barcelona because we will get to play top academy teams from around the world. Hopefully we will win the championship! I am excited to learn about the culture in Spain and we will get to see Barcelona on Christmas morning, which is pretty cool.” Best of luck to Beckham and company. Enjoy the holiday travels!
