Friday 16 December 2022 became an historic date for Women’s futsal after FIFA confirmed that a Women’s Futsal World Cup will be held for the first time in history. World football’s organising body also announced the launch of a Women’s Futsal Club World Cup.

The Men’s competition has been running for 33 years, following its creation in 1989. With the creation of a Women’s tournament, FIFA’s decision will come as welcoming news to the players have been campaigning for an equivalent World Cup for some time. Back in September, Spain’s Association of Women’s Futsal Players (AJFSF) once again raised its voice on the issue once again to denounce what they viewed as discrimination.

The news of the creation of the Women’s Futsal World Cup will be a great boost for a women’s futsal that continues to work to expand to all corners of the world.
