History

Batungbacal team (2005–2007)

A women's futsal team was formed around the mid-2000s when Emmanuel Batungbacal first came into contact with Philippine Football Federation. At that time Johnny Romualdez was the federation president and former Ateneo player Domeka Garamenda was the secretary general. Batungbacal was given the green light to form a team but he had to rely on his funding. The team joined the 2005 Asian Indoor Games where they finished fourth place. They later joined the 2007 Southeast Asian Games where they overcame Malaysia in the bronze medal game. [4] [5]

In 2007, José Mari Martínez would succeed Romualdez as PFF president. In 2009, the federation was riddled with controversy. The PFF Futsal Committee head Esmaeil Sedigh recommended Batungbacal's removal as head coach in early 2009, which prompted the resignation of the women's futsal team's players. [6] Batungbacal was allegedly removed for sending an unsanctioned women's futsal squad to the Vikings Futsal Cup in New Zealand although the coach presented a PFF document contradicting this claim. Martinez cites the coach's lack of coaching credentials for the move. [7]

Sedigh team (2011)

Esmaeil Sedigh became the women's futsal coach. He led the team at the 2011 Southeast Asian Games. [8]

Hermans program (2020–)

Dutch former player and coach Victor Hermans was brought in by the PFF in 2020 to serve as a technical consultant for futsal. [9] [10] [11]

The PFF under Hermans' advice revived the women's team and formed the core of the new team from players hailing from the Tuloy sa Don Bosco Foundation. The squad would train despite the COVID-19 pandemic. [12] In 2022, the new women's futsal team was unveiled adopting the moniker "Pinays". The team took part at the Pinay5 Futsal Faceoff, a two-game friendly series with Guam. [13] They lost the first game 0–1, but won the second one 3–1. [14]

The Philippines would be announced to host the inaugural FIFA Futsal Women's World Cup to be held in 2025 consequentially qualifying its national team for the tournament. [15]

Its first tournament as part of its preparation is the 2024 ASEAN Women's Futsal Championship in Pasig. The team was formed in short notice from try-outs participated by High 5 Futsal League and Philippine national football team players. [16] [17] The hosts narrowly missed a place in the third place playoff of the five-team tournament after losing 1–2 to their final group stage opponent Indonesia. They only needed a draw to advance. [18]
