FIFA and the Local Organising Committee for the FIFA Futsal Women’s World Cup Philippines 2025™ have revealed Pasig City, in the Metropolitan Manila region, and Victorias City, in Negros Occidental, as the tournament’s Host Cities.
"We are extremely proud of this milestone and we would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the local governments of Pasig City and Victorias City for their invaluable support in providing a truly unforgettable experience for the participating teams, the fans and the Filipino community," said John Anthony Gutierrez, president of the Philippine Football Federation.
In recent months, both cities were visited by FIFA representatives, who evaluated their infrastructure, accessibility and accommodation capacity. Pasig City and Victorias City have a proven track record of successfully hosting sports and cultural events, making them ideal venues for this groundbreaking competition.
“We are confident that, in collaboration with both Host Cities, we will deliver a tournament that meets the highest standards in terms of facilities and services and offers the players and fans a top-class experience,” said Jaime Yarza, FIFA Director of Tournaments.
“We also aim to leave a tangible legacy within the Philippines, improving the futsal infrastructure in the country – starting in these two cities – and encouraging new players to take up the game.”
In line with FIFA’s long-term goals for the development of futsal and the promotion of women’s football, the existence of active grassroots programmes was another key factor in the Host City selection process.
“World Cups are among the most powerful forces we have to grow our sport, and the inaugural FIFA Futsal Women’s World Cup is another exciting step in that journey. It’s a chance to inspire more girls and women around the world to play futsal,” said Dame Sarai Bareman, FIFA’s Chief Women’s Football Officer.
