L84 Torino, Lorenzo Bonaria's team, is ready to make its debut in the UEFA Futsal Champions League. After having won the national title for the first time in its history, the Verdeneri are preparing to play the Main Round at home, with the aim of winning the quadrangular and qualifying for the round of 16. Group 7, which will take place at the PalaMaggiore in Leini, sees L84 Torino face the Finns of Mad Max, the Danes of Hjørring and the Maltese of Luxol, with all matches broadcast live on Futsal TV.
Captain Josiko expressed enthusiasm for the occasion, underlining that the club has earned the right to participate in the Champions League on the pitch. “Playing at home is a huge advantage: we have the rest, the support of the fans and the familiarity with the stadium,” he said. Josiko also highlighted the difference compared to other clubs that strengthen themselves exclusively for the European competition, explaining that L84 Torino will maintain almost the same squad as the previous season, with the aim of focusing on "each match at a time".
Group 7's schedule includes four matches, with the first match against Luxol on 28 October at 4.30pm, followed by the match against Mad Max at 8.30pm on the same day. The team will face Hjørring on 29 October, with the return match scheduled for 31 October. The last match of the group, against Luxol, will be held on 31 October at 8.30pm. Only the winner of the quadrangular will be able to advance to the next round, while groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 have already seen the top three teams from each group qualify for the round of 16.
The Main Round will take place from 27 to 31 October, with the round of 16 and quarter-final draws scheduled for 4 November. The subsequent stages, including the round of 16 (home and away matches) on November 23 and December 4, the quarter-finals on February 8 and 19, 2027, and the Final Four in Switzerland from May 7 to 9, are already scheduled. L84 Torino, with the support of its fans and the determination not to look beyond the present, aims to achieve the victory necessary to continue the European adventure.
