ABOUT

The International Futsal Alliance is a partnership of several countries formed to offer high-quality international tournaments worldwide. The IFA Futsal World Championship is our flagship event and has welcomed representative teams from 16 countries across 5 tournaments to date.

  • Priority is given to national futsal organizations, who select their player pool from across the entire country which they represent.

  • Secondary places are made available to regional futsal organizations or clubs that show the required level of professionalism and wish to represent their country.

This is the sixth time the tournament has been held, with previous hosts including China, Scotland, and Spain. After being unable to stage the event in 2020 and 2021 due to the global pandemic, a special edition will bring together five different age categories to celebrate international futsal.

THE VENUE

The tournament will take place at Ciutat Esportiva Blanes, Spain, a spectacular facility with six international-sized courts.
