# 2025 FIFA Futsal Women's World Cup

The 2025 FIFA Futsal Women's World Cup is the planned inaugural edition of the FIFA Futsal Women's World Cup, an international futsal competition organized by FIFA. The inaugural edition is to be hosted in the Philippines from November 21 to December 7.

## 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.
On May 15, 2024, the Philippines was given the hosting rights, beating other bidding nations which include Brazil, Italy, and Spain. The indoor arenas in the Philippines and its successful organization of the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup were cited as reasons for the selection.
This will be the first time the Philippines hosts a FIFA event, the second FIFA women's tournament in Southeast Asia—a first since the 2004 FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship in Thailand, and the second futsal World Cup in the region—a first since the 2012 FIFA Futsal World Cup, which also took place in Thailand.

## Marketing

The Emblem was launched on 18 March 2025 at the MO Museum in Makati.
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 musical instrument and traditional binakol patterns.
The powerful visual identity accompanying the logo 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 defence and attack in a form of football renowned for its captivating speed and skill.

## Format

The 16 teams will be 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.
