Filipina5 fall short vs Morocco
The Philippine women's national futsal team, Filipina5, was eliminated from the 2025 FIFA Futsal Women's World Cup after a 3-2 loss to Morocco.
Filipina5 initially held a 2-0 lead with historic goals from Inday Tolentin (in the fourth minute) and Cathrine Graversen (in the seventh minute) but Morocco equalized by the 14th minute.
This defeat, following an earlier 6-0 loss to Poland, eliminated the team from contention for the knockout stage.

The team played in front of a crowd of 1,171 at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City.
Head coach Rafa Merino stated that the team was emotionally unprepared for their quick early lead, which affected their performance.
