Previous international competitions

The first Indoor Soccer World Championship was organized in 1997 in Mexico City, under the auspices of the Federacion Internacional de Futbol Rapido (FIFRA). Twelve national teams participated in that tournament, with Mexico winning the final against the United States.[2]

In February 2012, the Federación Internacional de Fútbol Rápido hosted the first-ever FIFRA Club Championship in Monterrey, Mexico. The 4-team tournament was won by the San Diego Sockers, who defeated the Monterrey Flash 5-3 in the final.[3]
