AIFF Plans Men’s and Women’s Futsal Club Championships for June 2025

June tournaments to serve as talent pool for India’s AFC Futsal Asian Cup 2026 qualifying campaign.

The All India Football Federation (AIFF) Futsal Committee held a virtual meeting on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, to chart the future course for futsal development in India.

Chaired by Mr. Mulrajsinh Chudasama, the meeting was attended by AIFF Secretary General Mr. Anilkumar, Deputy Chairperson Mr. Amit Deb, and committee members Mr. Krishna Pada Sarkar, Mr. Palam Acharji, and Mr. Naresh Singh Rana.

Highlighting the growing momentum around the sport, Mr. Chudasama remarked, “Futsal is gaining significant traction across India. Players are increasingly eager to compete, and we aim to provide more opportunities and exposure through structured competitions.”

A key outcome of the meeting was the proposal to host the AIFF Women’s Futsal Club Championship alongside the men’s edition. Both tournaments are tentatively scheduled for the first week of June.

“With the launch of the AIFF Women’s Futsal Club Championship, we are committed to ensuring equal opportunities for women in futsal,” Mr. Chudasama added. “Our vision is to build a competitive environment where top teams can thrive and contribute to the sport’s growth nationwide.”

Staging the championships in June will also serve as a platform for identifying talent for the national futsal team, ahead of the AFC Futsal Asian Cup 2026 qualifiers, which are slated to be held from September 16 to 24.

Additionally, the committee suggested that AIFF consider launching a national futsal league in the near future, as more states begin organizing their own state-level competitions.
