Andorra Host Netherlands in Futsal World Cup Qualifying Main Round

Andorra's national futsal team will face the Netherlands on Thursday at 20:00 at the Toni Martí pavilion in Andorra la Vella, in the second matchday of the Main Round of World Cup qualifying. Entry is free.

Coach Talin Puyalto has recalled Èric Mesquita of CD Otxartabe and José Segura of CD Salamanca, and given a first call-up to Jordi Pintat of Atlètic la Seu.

The goalkeeping trio is Aitor Rubio, Xavi López and Max Pons. The outfield players are Oriol Rodríguez, Adrià Blat, Omar Ávila, Roc Torres, Brayan Pinto, Pol Villalta, Claudi Bové and Cristian Regalo.

The Netherlands are a familiar opponent for Andorra: the two sides met twice in the previous Pre-European round, drawing both matches, with Andorra arguably deserving more from the fixtures, particularly the game at home.

The match follows Andorra's 4-0 defeat to Serbia in their opening Main Round fixture. The Netherlands drew 3-3 with Serbia in their first game, with Stan van der Wal scoring once and Tevfik Ceyar netting twice. The Dutch are coached by Miguel Andrés, a former assistant under Andreu Plaza at Barça.
