History

[edit]
Brazil and Canada's women's futsal national teams in a friendly match in Colombia after both were eliminated from the 2013 AMF Futsal Women's World Cup

After establishing its first-ever local women's championship in April 2023,[2] the Canadian Soccer Association formed its first official women's national futsal team under its governance in January 2025 and appointed Alexandre Da Rocha as the team's first-ever Head Coach.[3] Before establishing this FIFA-affiliated team, Canada had an AMF-affiliated women's futsal team that competed in the AMF Futsal World Cup.[4] The team achieved its best result as runners-up in the 2022 edition.[5]
