Our Coaches

Thiago Prado has been part of the Saskatoon Futsal League (SFL)  as a player, coach, and volunteer since its inception seven years ago. Currently, he serves on the SFL board, holding the president position. Thiago was born and raised in Brazil, where he started to play futsal at the young age of 3. He has played competitive futsal and soccer throughout his life and was part of the 2017 Olimpia SK Futsal Club Team, the first team from SK to attend the CSA Futsal Canadian Championship and won a silver medal. Thiago Prado holds a master’s in Human Resources Management, a B.Sc. in Agriculture Engineering, a degree in Human Resources Management, and a Business Administration diploma. Thiago’s extensive and diverse educational background creates a unique perspective on his coaching philosophy and style. Thiago believes that sport can be a catalyst to promote positive change in people and society; he has been an advocate that equity, diversity, and inclusion are beneficial for the sport. He thinks a team functions better when its players are a diverse lot — a dynamic mix of people of different cultures, ages, gender, and viewpoints who feel included and accepted.
