The Angola women's national futsal team (Portuguese: Seleção Angolana de Futsal Feminino) represents Angola in international women's futsal, and is governed by the Angolan Football Federation (FAF).
History
With no official continental or international women's futsal tournaments, only a few countries had women's futsal teams. Angola was the first African nation to establish a women's futsal team in 2011, making its debut at the 2011 Women's Futsal World Tournament against some of the sport's giants. The team played its first match on 5 December 2011, against Spain, suffering a 1–7 defeat.[3] In their final group stage match, they endured their heaviest loss to date, a 12–0 loss to the host nation Brazil.[2] After losing their two playoff matches, Angola finished in eighth place.
After a 14-year hiatus, Angola registered for the 2025 Women's Futsal Africa Cup of Nations, the inaugural continental championship, which will also serve as the qualifier for the first-ever 2025 FIFA Futsal Women's World Cup in the Philippines.[4]
