The 2025 Women's Futsal Africa Cup of Nations (Arabic: كأس أمم أفريقيا لكرة الصالات للسيدات 2025) was the inaugural edition of the Women's Futsal Africa Cup of Nations, the biennial international women's futsal competition in Africa, organised by the Confederation of African Football (CAF). The tournament took place in Rabat, Morocco, from April 22 to 30, 2025,[1] and will double as the African qualifiers for the 2025 FIFA Futsal Women's World Cup in the Philippines.[2]
Morocco defeated Tanzania 3–2 in the final, scoring the winning goal just 11 seconds before the end of regulation time to become the inaugural champions of the competition.[3]

On 26 January 2024, CAF selected Morocco to host the final tournament.[6]

For the inaugural edition, a total of 9 out of 54 CAF member associations participated in the competition, representing all five CAF subregions.[7][8]
