Enter The Canaan

Canaan's futsal team started with the pioneers who played football which are Daniel Mok, Derek Mok , Daric Ong, Wilson , Shan and Andy . A young Clifford Choo joined in when he was invited .During that time Wilson was the captain of the team. Clifford's younger brother had joined in for a few matches as a defender.

Due to weather conditions and a preparation for a inter-church competition they switched to a futsal court next to the Sri Petaling , Carrefour. They sticked with playing futsal. Future manager Ju Yuan was the one who wanted came out with the idea of dropping football and continue with futsal which was much better.Ju Yuan rounded up Benjamin Khor, Brandon Khor , Ju Liang and Ju Ping who started out as a Keeper .This was in 2004.The early players were Jeffrey, Joel,Zhi Yong,Clifford ,the Wong and Khor brothers ,Teacher Derek and Keeper Daniel Mok.

In 2005 the futsal fever ,brought in some new talents which are Roderick who was brought in by church member Yee Kit in which he immediately show his highly admirable skills,Weng Kit who by his second match earn his King of Easy Scorer alongside his easy scoring pier Jhow Weh '' Mo Lah'', Clement who started as silent defend and Blast King Austin who fitted instantly.During the year they participated in some very influential matches leaded by new captain Clifford Choo.

2006 was a great year for the team as they won many matches against other churches and competitions as well.Teacher Brandon ,Jason(brought in by Roderick),Jason Lim,and easy scorer Joshua Lim were the new players.The team participated in a very important tournament in Kuchai Lama which they got third place.

In 2007 the team was developed into one of the best teams for inter-churches with everyones talents including Jeffrey newly found easy scoring abilities, Clement 's abilities in goal keeping and many others who found their gifts.They had their final battle against Emmanuel Baptist in which they won.Though some players did not participate such as Clement which is because he hasnt started playing as goal keeper yet, Weng Kit, and Roderick because he wasn't a church member which was why he wasn't asked to play.

The Canaan is highly regarded as one of the best futsal team for their time and would be forever regarded as the best of the best with such great talents like Wong Brothers as strikers including Ju Yuans amazing abilities as one of the greatest Manager,Coach and player for the team, Choo brothers for their athletic abilities,,Kor brothers who sticked with the team importantly and many respected players For the greatest team and may God continue to guide their every step.
