YMCA-YWCA of the National Capital Region Team of the Month (September 2017): St. Anthony’s Futuro 2004-2005 Boys’ Soccer Team
About: St. Anthony’s Futuro players turned a lot of heads while overseas for an English Premier League tour at the end of August.
Futuro was undefeated in matches with their English youth academy counterparts, tying Arsenal 1-1 and downing Bristol Rovers 5-3, Queen’s Park Rangers 6-1 and Fulham FC 6-3.
St. Anthony’s player Nathaniel Mulualem was selected to join Fulham’s U13 side for a match against Leyton Orient and played a big role in helping the team to a 2-2 tie, thus earning an invite for another 2-week stint to train and play with the London club.
Futuro also won the Swans Festival while in Wales thanks to their undefeated run in 5 meetings with Norwich City, Swindon Town and host Swansea City.
