Futsal: two friendlies with Northern Ireland at the weekend

The San Marino national futsal team are in Northern Ireland to take on the hosts in two back-to-back friendlies, useful preparation for both sides ahead of their respective qualifying commitments for the next European Championship. The first match kicks off today at 16:00, with Roberto Osimani immediately forced to deal with the withdrawals of Franciosi and Moretti, both laid low by flu in recent hours, in addition to that of Pasqualini. As a result, the Titans faced Northern Ireland today with nine outfield players available, plus the three goalkeepers called up. The second match is scheduled for tomorrow at 11:00 local time. Both fixtures will be played at the Newry Leisure Centre. Here is the list of the 12 players called up by Head Coach Roberto Osimani for the two matches against Northern Ireland:
