I am Cristiano Dias founder/coach of Base Futsal academy. I played professional soccer for 15 years in Brazil but mostly in the USA where I arrived in 2007. Everything started when I was a kid playing futsal in high school and a small futsal academy in my hometown. That gave me a good BASE to start my professional soccer career helping me develop my technique and my ability to make quick decisions in small spaces. I want to provide the opportunity that once was provided to me but mainly keep our youth involved in sports.
