History
The Lithuania women's national futsal team made its first appearance in 2007 when a team affiliated with the European Union of Futsal (UEFS) participated in the 2007 UEFS Futsal Women's Championship, held in Luhačovice, Czech Republic. The team struggled in the competition, conceding 63 goals across four matches.
In 2018, the Lithuanian Football Federation officially established a women's futsal team to compete in the newly introduced UEFA Women's Futsal Championship.[2] The team played its first international matches in April 2018, traveling to Belarus for a two-game series against the hosts.[3] Lithuania lost its inaugural match 1–0 on 24 April before suffering a 7–0 defeat in the second game.[4]
Later that year, Lithuania made its competitive debut in the UEFA Women's Futsal Euro 2019 qualification, entering at the preliminary round. The team lost its opening match by a 10-goal margin but managed to secure a draw against Slovakia in its second game, ultimately failing to progress beyond the preliminary stage.[5] The team experienced the same outcome in the next two editions of the competition.[6]
Following the introduction of the FIFA Futsal Women's World Cup in 2023, Lithuania entered the qualification process for the inaugural 2025 edition. In October 2024, the team competed in its first World Cup qualifying mini-tournament but was eliminated after losing all its matches.[7]
