The 2025 FIFA Futsal Women's World Cup was the inaugural edition of the FIFA Futsal Women's World Cup, an international futsal competition organized by FIFA for women's futsal national teams across the world. It was hosted by the Philippines from November 21 to December 7.[1][2]

This was the first FIFA tournament hosted by the Philippines,[3] the second FIFA women's tournament in Southeast Asia region—the first since the 2004 FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship in Thailand, and the second futsal World Cup in the region—the first since the 2012 FIFA Futsal World Cup, which also took place in Thailand.

A total of 16 teams took part. Continental championships decided the qualifiers in every region, with the exception of Europe, which organized its own qualification process. Qualification took place between August 2024 and May 2025. Tanzania qualified for their first-ever senior FIFA tournament, while this was also Iran's first FIFA women's competition.

Brazil were champions of this maiden edition, defeating Portugal in the final and became the first Brazilian women's team to win a FIFA tournament.[4] Besides that pioneering result, they coupled their title with their fellow countrymen's success at the 2024 Futsal World Cup.[5]

Host selection

The World Cup was first announced by FIFA in December 2022. This was followed by countries expressing their interests to host, including Finland.[6]

On May 15, 2024, the Philippines was awarded the hosting rights,[7][8][9] beating other bidding nations which include Brazil, Italy,[10] and Spain.[11][12] The presence and quality of indoor arenas in the Philippines and its successful organization of the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup were cited as reasons for the selection.[3]

Format

The 16 teams are divided into four groups of four. The top two teams from each group will advance to the knockout phase, comprising quarter-finals, semi-finals, a third-place play-off, and the final match.[8]

Qualification

Qualification was decided by continental championships, with the exception of Europe, who organised a standalone qualification process. A total of 80 teams, including the hosts Philippines, have participated in the qualification.

Slot allocation

Alongside the host Philippines,[13] the inaugural 2025 Futsal Women's World Cup slot allocation was as follows: [14]

This was Tanzania's first-ever senior FIFA tournament and Iran's first FIFA women's tournament.[18] Notable absentees included Russia, who were banned from qualification by UEFA due to the country's invasion of Ukraine, and UEFA Women's Futsal Euro 2023 runners-up, Ukraine.

The highest-ranked team to fail to qualify was Vietnam, ranked 11th,[A] while Tanzania was the lowest-ranked team to make it, placed 82nd.

Venue

All matches of the tournament are held at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig, Metro Manila.[19]

Originally, there were two confirmed venues; the other site was the Victorias City Coliseum in Victorias, Negros Occidental. The two venues were approved in January 2025 and confirmed in June 2025.[20][21] Victorias was dropped as a host city in September 2025.[19]

Other venues considered within Metro Manila were the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay, the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City and the Ninoy Aquino Stadium in Manila were considered.[3] Outside the metropolis, named venues included the Hoops Dome in Lapu-Lapu City, the Seaside City Arena in Cebu City,[22][23] and the University of San Agustin Gym in Iloilo City.[24][22]

Final draw live stream

The draw was held at 17:00 PHT on September 15, 2025, at the BGC Arts Center in Bonifacio Global City in Taguig.[25] Sports presenter Mara Aquino hosted the draw. The guests were Brazilian futsal legend Falcão, Croatian coach Tihana Nemčić, Filipino international footballer Hali Long, and volleyball player Vanie Gandler, all of whom assisted with the draw. The 16 teams are drawn into four groups of four teams, with the host Philippines automatically seeded to Pot 1 and placed into the first position of Group A.[26] The draw then continued with, in order, pots 1, 2, 3, and 4 being drawn, with each team selected then allocated into the first available group alphabetically. The position for the team within the group would then be drawn (for the purpose of the schedule). The sixteen participating teams were drawn in groups of four.[27] Teams from the same confederation could not be drawn into the same group.

Seeding

The seeding was based on the women's FIFA Futsal World Rankings that were published on August 29, 2025.[28]

Match officials

Squads

Each team has to name a preliminary squad of a maximum of 30 players (three of whom must be goalkeepers). From the preliminary squad, the team has to name a final squad of 14 players (two of whom must be goalkeepers) by the FIFA deadline. Players in the final squad can be replaced by a player from the preliminary squad due to serious injury or illness up to 24 hours before the kickoff of the team's first match.

Opening ceremony

The opening ceremony was held shortly prior to the second match between hosts Philippines and Poland.[29] The event was attended by FIFA president Gianni Infantino along with Philippine Football Federation president John Gutierrez, Philippine Sports Commission chairperson Patrick Gregorio,[30] and Pasig mayor Vico Sotto.[31] Filipino girl group G22 performed during the event.[32]

Group stage

All times are local, PHT (UTC+8). The schedule was announced following the draw.[33][34]

The top two teams of each group advanced to the quarter-finals.

  2. points obtained in the matches played between the teams in question;
  3. goal difference in the matches played between the teams in question;
  4. number of goals scored in the matches played between the teams in question;

If two or more teams were equal on the basis of the above four criteria, their rankings were determined as follows:

  2. number of goals scored in all group matches;
  3. fair play points in all group matches (only one deduction could be applied to a person in a single match):

Marketing

Logo and slogan

The official emblem was launched on March 18, 2025, at the Manila House in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.[41][42]

The emblem is a combination of visual elements depicting futsal and references to street art and motifs in the Philippines. Some of the Filipino culture references featured in the logo include the vinta, the gabbang instrument, and traditional Binakael patterns.[41]

The visual identity accompanying the logo, alongside the official slogan of the tournament, "Master The Speed", reflects a game that is constantly on the move and the sights and sounds of the host nation, which are combined with depictions of the futsal ball, the shape of the pitch, and the five members of each team. The design also features arrows that portray the fine line between defense and attack in a form of football renowned for its captivating speed and skill.[41]
