Matchweek 6 Preview

The busiest weekend of the NFPL season is here, with four matches packed into two days as Cadence SFC and Colorado Futsal Academy make their return to the NFPL courts! Both teams will play back-to-back home games, providing a major early-season test for Inter Detroit and Santa Fe Gloom, who will be looking to gain momentum in their respective divisions.

Cadence SFC (H) vs. Inter Detroit (A)

Cadence SFC enters the season with plenty of anticipation as they make their NFPL debut this weekend. Facing an opponent that has already played two matches could give them an early challenge, but the home side will be looking to make a statement in their seasoning-opening matches.

Meanwhile, Inter Detroit is desperate to find their footing after a tough introduction to the league. The Michigan-based squad fell in back-to-back games to Futsal Factory Academy, conceding 20 goals across both matchups. While their attack has shown promise—Nate Boos, Eduardo Cardenas, and Edwin Gomez Ruiz have all found the net—defensive lapses and inexperience have cost them. They now face a crucial doubleheader, where they must tighten up at the back if they want to leave Chicago with their first points of the season.

This weekend will reveal a lot about both teams—whether Cadence SFC can hit the ground running and if Inter Detroit can bounce back from their rocky start.

MATCH DETAILS:

Colorado Futsal Academy (H) VS. Santa Fe Gloom (A)

Colorado Futsal Academy has already taken the court once this season, falling 8-6 on the road at New Mexico Flagship FC in a high-energy contest. Despite the loss, Emmanuel Vivas stole the show, earning NFPL Player of the Week honors for his outstanding performance. Now, back on their home court, Colorado will look to channel that energy into their first win of the season.

Standing in their way is Santa Fe Gloom, who sit at 1-2 after a tough loss to BRUSA FC in their last outing. Santa Fe has proven they can score, with Isai Rivas and Julian Bustamante leading the attack, but defensive lapses have cost them in key moments. A strong weekend could push them back into the playoff conversation, while another setback would leave them chasing the pack.

With Colorado needing points to climb out of last place and Santa Fe aiming to steady their season, expect high-energy, physical futsal with both teams fighting for early-season positioning in the Southwest Division.

What's At Stake:

  • Cadence SFC makes their debut—will they prove to be Midwest contenders or take time to adjust?
  • Colorado Futsal Academy plays at home—can they recover from their opening loss and capitalize on their Player of the Week star?
  • Inter Detroit needs their first win—will they fix their defensive struggles before it’s too late?
  • Santa Fe Gloom needs a bounce-back—can they tighten up defensively and get back in the playoff race?

With so many unknowns, Matchweek 6 could drastically shift the standings and set the tone for the rest of the season.
