The SMU alumni Brazilian twin brothers are at it again.

Esteban and Manuel Mariel recently were invited by the U.S. Futsal National Team to represent the United States in the Grand Prix de Futsal, which is an annual futsal tournament hosted in Brazil.

The twin brothers grew up playing soccer in U.S. soccer clubs, such as Inter SC (which became FC Dallas).

The brothers also had the opportunity to train with Brazilian soccer clubs like FC Santos and Cruzeiro Esporte Club.

They were recruited to play for the University of Maryland at Baltimore in 2006.

The brothers only played there for a year, until SMU recruited them.

In the fall of 2007, the Mariel brothers contributed to the Mustangs’ rank in the national poll, which was No. 2 at the time.

After graduating with a bachelors degrees in economics in 2009, the brothers began to plan the next goal in their professional careers.

They created Dallas City Futsal in November 2010, with an ambition to train the youth of Dallas.

Dallas Fustal is an indoor soccer that allows players to free play.

The Dallas Fustal website says, “the game itself is the teacher.”

Not only had the Mariels been playing soccer at an early age, but they had also been training other kids since their teens.

“We have been training kids since we were 16 years old and felt like the right way to develop the next generation of soccer players was through the implementation of futsal within the youth,” Manuel said.

The Mariels have great ambitions for the company and say the organization is a long term commitment.

They want to develop the youth soccer in the United States by starting here in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

“Our goal is to become the ultimate futsal promoter in the USA,” Mariel said.

The brothers say they want to go as far as being the first professional futsal league in the U.S.

By hosting youth leagues and tournaments, both state and national, the brothers say they would teach and promote the sport in the most effective way possible.

Aside from building their own enterprise, the Mariel brothers also want to advance in their own soccer careers.

After being introduced to the goalie of the national futsal team by a friend, the brothers took advantage of the opportunity to represent the U.S. in the Grand Prix de Futsal.

“It was amazing!” Manuel said as he described his experience with the team.

“We were greeted by the city when we arrived in Brazil; it was just first class the whole time,” Manuel said.

The tournament opened up with its first match, Brazil vs. Guatemala, on Oct. 16.

All matches were hosted in Arena Amadeu Teixeira, which is located in the city of Manaus.

The U.S. team played a total of six matches, which were all lost.

“The competition was first class. These guys play around 120 games every year. So the speed of the game and the knowledge they had was very humbling,” Manuel said.

Even though the U.S. was not able to win a single match in the tournament, the brothers say the team worked hard.

“This team only trained about 15 days together and our first game was against Uruguay, one of the top countries and where futsal started,” Mariel said.

The brothers say the U.S. team had very high expectations, so the team was determined to perform their best.

The tournament did not end until Oct. 23.

The final match was Brazil vs. Russia, where Brazil emerged victorious after a 2-1 win and crowning themselves for the fifth time.

The twin brothers say they will continue playing with the national team. As for now, they consider their business as being the most important goal in their professional lives.
