History

Early attempts

The Football Association of Maldives made an initial attempt to establish a women's national futsal team in 2017, with the aim of participating in the 2018 AFC Women's Futsal Championship. [2] Although an entry was reportedly submitted, [2] the team did not ultimately take part in the competition, and the initiative did not materialise.

Formation

A women's futsal programme was introduced by the Football Association of Maldives in 2025 as part of efforts to develop the sport and increase women's participation. [3] The national team was subsequently formed in January 2026, with players primarily selected from the 2025 FAM Women's League and the Maldives women's national football team. [4] [5]

International debut

The Maldives made its international debut at the SAFF Women's Futsal Championship in 2026, which marked the inaugural edition of the competition. [6] The team's first match was played against India, resulting in an 11–1 defeat. [6] Maldives scored its first international futsal goal during the match, which was recorded as an own goal. [7]

During the tournament, Maldives also recorded its heaviest defeat, a 14–2 loss against Bangladesh. [8] The team lost all of its matches in the competition, [8] with its closest result being a 7–6 defeat to Sri Lanka. [9]
