In their fourth game, the French team defeated Slovenia away three goals to one to record their first ever win. The full record is P4 W1 D2 L1.
The first game was a double header in France that ended with a 1-1 draw and a 1-2 defeat against Finland and then France played a double header away to Slovenia with a 2-2 draw and a 3-1 win.
The France Futsal WNT was recently created as part of the FFF commitment towards the sport and with the FIFA Futsal WWC being set for 2025, it came at right time for France to enter the tournament qualification. Those qualifiers will start in October.
The FFF has pledged 18.4 M€ for the 2022-25 cycle in order to develop men and women futsal. The MNT has recently qualified for the 2024 FIFA WC, obviously the WNT will try their best to get one of the four spots for the 2025 FIFA WWC, but it is unlikely as the team has just started with the first ever training camp taking place back in September 23.
