A few days before the match, Finland's head coach Mićo Martić extended his contract with Finland's FA.
„From love to futsal. If you asked my wife, she would answer that this is a kind of madness. The futsal makes me happy and calm; I'm obsessed with Futsal. I am happy when I am on the futsal pitch, previously as a player or nowadays as a coach. I enjoy this beautiful game. This is my life and I wouldn’t trade it for anything else. Not even a space flight“, Martić said for pallolitto.fi.

Martić got prasis from Jyrki Filppu, FA's futsal chief as well as from Panu Autio, national team captain.
Martić took over Finland national futsal team in 2013. His task, in the beginning, was to build a coach training system in the country, which he accomplished. He trained over 150 coaches who received a UEFA license, and now, he can focus on the national team maximally.
