Local Qualifiers are held across the country by approved 5-a-side football centres with teams entering via application. As of August 2010 entry costs £25 per team. Sites owned by major commercial providers of 5-a-side football including Goals Soccer Centres〔(FA Fives )〕 and (Playfootball.net ) hold the majority of Local Qualifiers, with some County Football Associations also hosting Local Qualifiers. Winners from the Local Qualifiers in the men's competition progress to one of seven Regional Finals in London, South East, South West, Midlands, North, North East and the North West. The winning teams in the Regional Finals win a cash prize, while the top four teams from each Regional Final progress to the National Final at Wembley Stadium.

For the 2010 competition women's teams enter the competition directly into the Regional Final before the top teams are awarded a place in the National Final. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「FA Umbro Fives」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
