Hosting the Futsal Canadian Championship

Canada Soccer’s Futsal Canadian Championship is hosted each April across two divisions: the Men’s Futsal Canadian Championship and the Women’s Futsal Canadian Championship.

Futsal is an exciting and fast-paced sport played indoors on a small court with five players to each side. It features a sport-specific ball that does not bounce the same way as a traditional football bounces on grass or turf and the sport features its own unique Futsal Laws of the Game which differ from traditional football. Each match features two 20-minute halves with the clock stopped each time the match is interrupted as well as rolling substitutions so that players can come in and out of the match.

At the elite club level, Canada Soccer supports domestic competition through the annual Futsal Canadian Championship for men and women. Canada Soccer launched the Men’s Futsal Canadian Championship in 2015 and the Women’s Futsal Canadian Championship in 2023.

Each year, Canada Soccer’s Futsal Canadian Championship will:
• Determine the national champions in two divisions (men and women);
• Provide an outstanding competitive opportunity and environment for players and coaches;
• Offer match officials the ability to excel at the national level;
• Promote futsal across the country;
• Ensure an enjoyable experience for all participants;
• Provide professional development opportunities and leave a legacy for host communities;
• Attract spectators to the competition;
• Achieve maximum visibility and exposure through broadcast and media for the competition, the sport and the host community.

The Futsal Canadian Championship also provides an important milestone in the careers of Canada Soccer’s Futsal National Team players. From 2015 to 2024, more than two thirds of our National Team players featured with their clubs at the Futsal Canadian Championship (61 of 90 players).

In 2025, the first-ever edition of the FIFA Futsal Women’s World Cup 2025 will feature National Teams from all six confederations including two National Teams from the Concacaf region (where Canada competes).
