NOVE Futsal was born from the meeting of two visions and two different yet deeply, complementary paths: those of Cely Gayardo and Leticia Martín Cortés.
Two women who have dedicated their lives to futsal.
Two women who have dedicated their lives to futsal.
Cely, first a player and now an established coach, and Leticia, who has played in the top national league since the age of 14 (in both Italy and Spain), has worn the jersey of the Spanish national team, and is now a coach with the highest Italian qualification. Both share the same goal: to promote and develop futsal through education, passion, and shared knowledge.
