“The FIFA Futsal Women’s World Cup legacy belongs to every Filipina futsal player across the country. Through the Filipina5 Futsal Fiesta, we are bringing the celebration of the event to every Regional Football Association, and winners get to go and watch their national team play in the World Cup.” – PFF President John Anthony Gutierrez
The Philippine Football Federation (PFF), in partnership with the FIFA Women’s Football Development Program and the Office of Philippine Sports Commissioner Olivia “Bong” Coo, has officially launched the Filipina5 Futsal Fiesta, a nationwide celebration of futsal designed to recognize, empower, and inspire Filipino women and girls in the sport.
A flagship initiative of PFF’s FIFA Futsal Women’s World Cup 2025 Legacy Program and FIFA Women’s Football Development Program, the Filipina5 Futsal Fiesta aims to popularize futsal at the grassroots level and highlight the growing achievements of Filipino women in the sport.
“The Filipina5 Futsal Fiesta embodies our vision of inclusion, empowerment, and excellence,” said PFF President John Anthony Gutierrez. “It’s a celebration of how far we’ve come and how much further we can go when we give Filipinas the platform to shine.”
The festival kicked off on November 7, 2025, in various Regional Football Associations (RFA) and will be held throughout November.
In all, the Filipina5 Futsal Fiesta will roll out across the country through 29 Regional Football Associations (RFAs). Around 2,000 girls are expected to participate in the series of futsal tournaments and activities. Members of the winning teams will be flown in to Pasig and given free passes to the FIFA Futsal Women’s World Cup.
