United Futsal

What United Futsal does

United Futsal is a privately held sports-events and youth-development company founded in 2010 and headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina. It organizes and operates a portfolio of regional, national, and international youth futsal tournaments, training camps, and educational programs for players typically aged 7-18, the clubs they represent, coaches, referees, and fans. The company's product surface spans competitive events (Regional Championships Series across 10+ US cities, National Championships in Oklahoma City, World Futsal Championships in Orlando, World Futsal Cup in Blanes, Spain), elite player-development programs (National Training Camp, FUTURES international camp with Ricardinho as ambassador, World Tour), and a tiered Champions Cup Series loyalty program. Core technology is delivered through Vault — a proprietary member-management and event-registration platform — supplemented by RegFox for payments, TicketSpice and Etix for ticketing, Futsal365 for XP point tracking, LearnWorlds-powered United Futsal University for e-learning, and OAuth 2.0/OIDC for federated authentication.

The business model combines recurring club membership (CCS at $1,000 per club per season), transaction-based event registration fees across 30+ annual tournaments, pay-as-you-go education courses (~$60 per course) at United Futsal University, and premium invitation-only international programming (FUTURES, World Tour, CCS Finals). Customer segments are organized around youth futsal clubs (primary B2B unit), youth players (primary persona), coaches, referees, and elite international teams. Go-to-market is event-driven, leveraging US Soccer and FIFA sanctioning as a credibility anchor, with digital self-serve registration channels and venue partnerships (Orange County Convention Center, Universal/Disney, Bennett Event Center) for major-tournament execution. Partnerships with elite clubs — FC Barcelona, SL Benfica, SC Corinthians — and ambassador Ricardinho provide brand differentiation, while cumulative reach of 100,000+ participants across 30+ countries signals established market presence.
