history

The Spanish national women's futsal team made their international debut on November 21, 1997 in a tournament in Elche against the Ukraine, which ended with a 7-1 victory for the Iberians. Since there were no official competitions in women's futsal until 2010, the team played mainly friendly matches and smaller tournaments. In December 2010 the first World Cup took place in Torrejón de Ardoz and Alcobendas . After victories in the group matches against Russia, Guatemala and Japan, the Spaniards failed in the semi-finals with 3: 4 to Portugal. The Brazilians won the title with a 5-1 win in the final. A year later, the Spaniards reached the final at the 2011 World Cup after beating Portugal 4: 3 in the semi-final, where the selection failed 4: 3 after extra time to tournament hosts Brazil. At the 2012 World Cup in Portugal, the Spanish lost to the Portuguese in the semi-finals after a penalty shoot-out, and in the game for third place the team beat Russia 1-0. A year later the tournament was supposed to take place in San Cristóbal (Venezuela) , but due to logistical problems, FIFA moved the competition to Spain, where the games were played in Alcázar de San Juan and Ciudad Real . The Iberians again played a strong tournament and won their group games against Portugal, Japan and Costa Rica. In the semi-finals, the selection prevailed 4-1 against Russia and thus made it into a World Cup final for the second time. However, like two years before, the team lost this to Brazil, which prevailed 2-1.
