    The Honduras women's national futsal team (Spanish: Selección Femenina de Futsala de Honduras) represents Honduras in international women's futsal competitions, and is governed by the Football Federation of Honduras (FFH).

    History

    Background

    Due to the absence of official international competitions, few countries had established women's futsal teams. It wasn't until 2022, when FIFA announced the launch of the FIFA Women's Futsal World Cup, that efforts began in Honduras to establish a national women's futsal team. That same year marked the start of a nearly three-year development process for the women's game in the country, led by the National Commission of Sports, Physical Education and Recreation (CONDEPOR) in collaboration with the Honduran Football Federation, aiming to foster the growth of women's futsal nationwide.[2]

    Debut

    After registering for the inaugural edition of the CONCACAF W Futsal Championship, the qualifying tournament for the World Cup, Honduras was set to face Nicaragua in a play-in match, with the winner advancing to the final tournament in Guatemala City.[3] On 28 April 2025, Las Catrachas played their historic first match against the Nicaraguans, securing a 6–5 victory after extra time to earn their spot in the final tournament.[4][5] In the day that followed, Honduras made their debut in the final tournament, suffering a 7–0 defeat to the United States, followed by two 6–0 losses to Canada and Costa Rica, exiting the competition winless and without scoring a goal.[6][7]
