History

The New Zealand Football would launch the first women's national futsal team in 2017. At around this time, the federation has already been organizing the National Women's Futsal League. [2] [3]

Their debut game, and the first ever women's futsal international in Oceania was held on 12 September 2023 at the ASB Baypark Arena in Tauranga. The Futsal Ferns would win 14–0 against New Caledonia. The match which is part of the Trans Pacific Futsal Cup at the AIMS Games was followed by two more matches against the same opposition. [4]

On 25 August 2024, New Zealand became the first-ever women's national futsal team to qualify for the first-ever FIFA Futsal Women's World Cup to be staged in the Philippines.
