MANILA, Philippines – The Philippines is set to make history in 2025, and the nation is pulling out all the stops to ensure a spectacular hosting of the FIFA Futsal Women’s World Cup (FFWWC). President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has officially established an Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) to spearhead the country’s comprehensive preparation efforts for this prestigious global event.

• Accommodation: Providing comfortable and convenient accommodation for teams and officials.

A Boost for Philippine Sports & Tourism

Hosting the FFWWC 2025 is expected to have a ripple effect throughout the Philippine economy. Beyond the sporting benefits, it presents a unique opportunity to showcase the country's vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, and warm hospitality to a global audience. This, in turn, is anticipated to boost tourism and generate significant economic growth.
