Olimpia Polska beat both the Clippers and Rustlers to be named Provincial Champions. With the win the team qualifies to represent Saskatchewan at the Futsal Canadian Championships. The Canadian Championships will take place April 2-5 at Queen’s University in Kingston, ON. Olimpia has represented Saskatchewan three times at the Championships. The team placed 2nd in 2017, 3rd in 2018 and 4th in 2019.
