US EditionCanada beats Mexico to qualify for 1st FIFA Futsal Women's World Cup
- On May 3, 2025, in Guatemala City, Canada secured its spot in the first-ever FIFA Women's Futsal World Cup by winning a penalty shootout against Mexico.
- This qualification occurred after Canada and Mexico reached the final of the CONCACAF Women’s Futsal Championship, a tournament featuring eight teams where the two finalists qualify for the World Cup.
- The semifinal match ended 4-4 after extra time, with Canada overcoming an early 3-0 deficit from Mexico and winning the shootout 4-3 thanks to key saves by goalkeeper Lea Palacio-Tellier.
- Canada secured second place in Group B with a 2-1-0 record, sharing the best defensive record by conceding only four goals during the group stage. The team is led by Alexandre Da Rocha, who previously coached Quebec’s women’s futsal team and serves as an assistant coach for the Canadian men’s futsal squad.
- Canada’s qualification highlights progress in women’s futsal after long campaigning for a FIFA championship amid earlier criticism of FIFA’s neglect of the women’s game, with the World Cup set for Nov. 21 to Dec. 7 in the Philippines.
