Baltic Futsal League

The Baltic Futsal League is a futsal club commercial competition involving 8 teams from Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, and Belarus.

The debut season was scheduled to take place between October 2019 and April 2020, but was interrupted by COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 and postponed until further notice. The competition format is one round among 8 teams, adding up to 28 matches in total.

A big challenge for the organizers was the match calendar that suits participants from all countries, as the national championships in each country take place at very different times throughout the year.

The matches were covered by media, social media and online streaming services, including in-depth live statistics. The tournament was prepared as a media product, hoping to attract sponsors, advertisers, and potentially reach TV audiences. The participating clubs are incentivized by free travel and accommodation. In the first ever Baltic Futsal League press-conference in Saint Petersburg on 14 May 2019, the league organizers paid particular attention at commercial, PR and marketing aspects of the competition, providing free training and consultations to each of the participating clubs. The league will promote growth and experience of the clubs, planning to expand the league in the future, attracting participants from more countries.
