# Latvia women's national futsal team

The Latvia women's national futsal team (Latvian: Latvija Telpu futbola sieviešu izlase) represents Latvia in international futsal competitions and is governed by the Latvian Football Federation (LFF).

## History

With women's futsal growing across the continent, Latvia established its women's national team in 2022. The team debuted in April 2022, hosting Lithuania in a double-header, winning the first match and drawing the second. In May 2022, Latvia entered the Preliminary Round of the UEFA Women's Futsal Euro 2023 after missing the tournament's first two editions. However, the team lost all its matches and failed to qualify in its debut attempt.
After a one-year hiatus, Latvia traveled to Lithuania for two friendly matches, winning both and securing its biggest victory, a 6–1 triumph, as part of its preparations for the World Cup qualifiers. In October 2024, the team joined 25 others in the qualifying tournament for the inaugural FIFA Women's Futsal World Cup, set to be held in the Philippines. However, much like its Euro campaign, Latvia lost all its matches and finished last in its group.
