Canada Soccer will again broadcast matches from the Futsal Canadian Championship, with details to be shared in advance of the tournament. There are eight teams in each division with the last two teams scheduled to qualify on 23 March 2025. This year’s 16 qualified teams will come from a pool of 216 competing futsal teams from eight provinces and territories across the country (145 men’s futsal teams and 71 women’s futsal teams).

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.

Canada Soccer remains dedicated to elevating futsal’s profile and providing platforms for athletes to excel. The 2025 Futsal Canadian Championship in Regina represents a pivotal opportunity to advance these goals. Hosting the competition will inspiring increased participation in futsal at the grassroots level throughout Saskatchewan, too. Just this past year, the Saskatoon Green & White women’s futsal team became the first team outside of Ontario or Québec to win the Futsal Canadian Championship.

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).
