The 2024 FIFA Futsal World Cup is the tenth edition of the FIFA Futsal World Cup, the quadrennial international futsal championship contested by the men's national teams of the member associations of FIFA. The tournament was held in Uzbekistan.[1] It was the first FIFA tournament ever hosted by Uzbekistan and the first FIFA tournament to take place in Central Asia. The tournament will return to its usual four-year cycle after the previous tournament was delayed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Portugal are the defending champions, defeating Argentina in the final, 2–1.

Host selection

[edit]

In April 2023, Morocco was reported to have been given the hosting rights as they were reported to be the only bid submitted to FIFA.[6][7] However, Uzbekistan was selected as host on 23 June 2023.[1][11]

Uzbekistan's enthusiasm and impressive track-record at hosting events were deemed as the reasons for Uzbekistan's selection.[12] This is fourth time Asia will host the event and marks the first time a FIFA tournament has been held in Central Asia. Prior, Uzbekistan was supposed to host the 2012 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, but were stripped of the hosting rights due to a number of logistical and technical issues.

A total of 24 teams qualify for the final tournament, in addition to Uzbekistan who qualified automatically as host, 23 other teams qualify from six separate continental competitions.[13][14] Overall, 121 nations entered qualification.

Of the 24 qualifiers, four will make their debut: Afghanistan, France, New Zealand and Tajikistan.[15][16][17][18][19] Afghanistan's and Tajikistan's qualification, along with Iran and hosts Uzbekistan, means that for the first time, four nations from Central Asia qualified for the World Cup. This will also be Tajikistan's first senior FIFA tournament, having previously participated in two FIFA U-17 World Cups. This will be Afghanistan's first ever FIFA tournament.

Of the returnees, Europeans Croatia and Netherlands both return after a 24-year absence. Libya returns after last qualifying in 2012 while Cuba and Ukraine qualified after missing out on the previous edition.

Notable absentees include Russia, who were banned from qualification by UEFA due to the country's invasion of Ukraine. The 2022 AFC Futsal Asian Cup champions, Japan, failed to qualify after getting eliminated in the group stage of the 2024 Futsal Asian Cup for the first time in their history.[20] From Africa, Egypt failed to qualify for the first time since 1992 after losing the third place play off at the 2024 Futsal Africa Cup of Nations.[21] After making the 2016 and 2021 editions, Vietnam failed to qualify.[22]

Czech Republic, Serbia, and United States all failed to qualify after making the 2021 edition. The highest ranked team to fail to qualify was 7th, Russia while Cuba is the lowest ranked team to make it ranked 78th.
