Last five weeks US futnet players of San Diego hosted the head of UNIF Technical Committee Mr. Vlastimil Stehlik. His mission in the USA had two main aims: to help improve the futnet skills of American players, especially of the new futnet generation, and to meet and prepare the referees of the US South Korea Jokgu Association for World Championship 2012 in Nymburk.

Mr Stehlik said that the young American players have a great potential and in a few years they could become serious rivals for the top national teams. Some of them took part also in International Youth Futnet Camp last year in the Czech Republic where they proved their worth against their European counterparts.

Concerning South Korea, Mr Stehlik expressed the conviction that this country would soon attack the leading role not only in Asian but also worldwide futnet. The evidence was given both in seminar participants´perfect knowledge of Laws of Futnet and in the number of excellent jokgu players who demostrated also their good futnet skills in the matches against US futnet players in Los Angeles.
