There are two major leagues that have shaped English futsal: The National Futsal League (NFL) and The National Futsal Series (NFS). NFL, which was first established in 2008, was the top tier of futsal in England until 2019. A reorganization took place when NFS [1] came on board during the same year, with NFS [2] being ranked as the tier 1 and tier 2 as a result of which NFL was moved to tier 3 position.
The history of these leagues is marked by the achievements of several top goal scorers who have set high standards for excellence in the sport. These players have made significant contributions to the development and popularity of futsal in England.
Prominent players who have excelled in scoring include Jay Corran, Raoni Medina, Jordan Matthews, and Alejandro Maroto. Each season has seen various players emerge as top scorers, reflecting the competitive nature of the leagues. For example, Raoni Medina and Jordan Matthews have each secured the top scorer position multiple times in different seasons and Alejandro Maroto. [3] became the youngest player to achieve the top scorer of all times title at the age of 16, with 63 goals in 23 matches. These achievements contribute to the evolving history and records of the leagues.
The diversity of the leagues is reflected in the international backgrounds of the top scorer. For instance, Gonzalo Gonzalo, Jose De Souza, Jose Lozano and Denilson Silva are players who have brought in their unique styles and cultures to the game hence its global appeal and diversity.
The National Futsal League and the National Futsal Series have played crucial roles in the development of futsal in England. The achievements of top goal scorers in these leagues not only celebrate individual talent but also underscore the sport's increasing popularity and competitive nature. The international diversity of the players further enriches the English futsal scene, making it a vibrant and dynamic sport.
