The Turkmenistan women's national futsal team (Turkmen: Türkmenistanyň futzal boýunça zenanlar ýygyndysy) represents Turkmenistan in international women's futsal competitions and is run by the Football Federation of Turkmenistan (FFT).

History

First Kick: Beginnings

Established in 2011, the Turkmen team played its first international game during the Qarshi women's futsal cup in Uzbekistan.

Six years after their previous match, Turkmenistan hosted the 2017 Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games. During this comeback, the team was placed in Group B alongside China, Hong Kong, and Japan. Unfortunately, the team faced setbacks, losing all three games and ultimately exiting from the group stage.[2][3]

In the following year, Turkmenistan made its debut at the 2018 AFC Women's Futsal Championship in Thailand. The team was placed in group D alongside neighboring Iran and Uzbekistan. They suffered their most significant defeat to date, losing 0–14 to Iran, and also faced a 1–3 defeat against Uzbekistan.[4][5]

In March 2019, the national team traveled to Kuwait City for two friendly matches against the Kuwait. The team achieved success by winning both games with scores of 0–6 and 1–5, marking their first historic victories.[6][7]

In 2024, Turkmenistan made its debut in the CAFA Women's Futsal Championship, participating in the tournament hosted in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, after missing the first two editions.[8]

In January 2025, Turkmenistan women's national futsal team entered the qualification tournament for the 2025 AFC Women's Futsal Asian Cup with Kamil Mingazow named as head coach.[9][10]
