History
editFounded in 1983, the Dutch women's futsal team stands as one of the world's earliest women's futsal teams. They debuted that year with a 6–1 victory against Belgium in a friendly match in Kerkrade.[1][2]
In September 2017, the Royal Dutch Football Association announced the return of the national team after a nine-year hiatus since their last match against Spain, marking the beginning of a new era.[2] Five months later, they played a double-header against the Finnish national team, losing the first match 1–3 and winning the second 2–0.[3]
After the establishment of the UEFA Women's Futsal Championship by UEFA in 2018, the team was one of the few European nations to participate. It was eliminated in the Preliminary Round in 2019 and in the Main Round in 2022 and 2023, and it has yet to make its debut in the tournament.[4][5]
In October 2024, the team took part in the qualifiers for the inaugural FIFA Futsal Women's World Cup, scheduled to be held in the Philippines, but was eliminated following a loss to Poland in the Main Round.[6]
