Fifa Women's Futsal World Cup venue changed to Pasig City

Victorias, Negros Occidental, has been removed as a venue for the inaugural Fifa Women's Futsal World Cup due to logistical and operational concerns.

All matches of the tournament, originally scheduled from November 21 to December 7, will now be held exclusively at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City.

The Philippine Football Federation (PFF) stated that this decision aligns with Fifa and the Local Organizing Committee's (LOC) goal to streamline the event and ensure its efficient execution.

Fifa had previously approved Victorias as a host city after an inspection, and the local government had shown strong interest in co-hosting.

This venue change was announced shortly before the World Cup draw ceremony scheduled for Monday in Taguig City, which will be attended by representatives from all 16 participating nations.
