The Tuvaluan national futsal team is a representative selection of Tuvaluan futsal players . The team represents the Tuvaluan Football Association at international matches.

Performing in tournaments

The Tuvaluan futsal team took part in the Oceania Championship for the first time in 2008, coached by Sami Neemia. All games were lost and she finished last. In 2010 Toakai Puapua became the coach of Tuvalu, who had already coached the Tuvaluan national football team at the 2007 South Pacific Games (all games were lost, they finished last). At the Futsal Oceania Championship in August 2010, the kicker Tuvalus suffered the highest defeat in the history of the selection with 2:21 against the Solomon Islands. In 2011 Taki Vava finally took over the coaching position. Under his direction, all three group matches (Group B) of the OFC Futsal Championship were lost in the same year. Against Kiribati there was a game for seventh place. The national futsal team only just lost 3-2. So Tuvalu has never won a futsal game.
