Spotlight: Pioneers FC Players Shine at Canada Soccer’s 2018 Futsal ID Camp
We’re proud to celebrate the accomplishments of three Pioneers FC standouts—Anderson Pereira, Derek Mains, and Adam Mooi—who were selected for the Canada Soccer Futsal National Team identification camp in September 2018, held in Gatineau, Québec.
All three were chosen from Winnipeg and represented Manitoba with distinction, having competed under the club banner of Winnipeg Rovers FC at that time. Their selection to the camp marked them as among the top futsal players in the nation. Canada SoccerFlickr
