The Angola women's national futsal team (Portuguese: Seleção Angolana de Futsal Feminino) represents Angola in international women's futsal, and is governed by the Angolan Football Federation (FAF).[3]

History

With no official continental or international women's futsal tournaments, only a few countries had women's futsal teams. Angola was the first African nation to establish a women's futsal team in 2011, making its debut at the 2011 Women's Futsal World Tournament against some of the sport's giants. The team played its first match on 5 December 2011, against Spain, suffering a 1–7 defeat.[4] In their final group stage match, they endured their heaviest loss to date, a 12–0 loss to the host nation Brazil.[2] After losing their two playoff matches, Angola finished in eighth place.

After a 14-year hiatus, Angola registered for the 2025 Women's Futsal Africa Cup of Nations, the inaugural continental championship, which will also serve as the qualifier for the first-ever 2025 FIFA Futsal Women's World Cup in the Philippines.[5]
