The Saudi Arabia women's national futsal team represents Saudi Arabia in international women's futsal competitions and is controlled by the Saudi Arabian Football Federation.
Established in 2019, the team played two friendlies against their Lebanese counterparts before participating in the inaugural 2019 GCC Women's Games in Kuwait.[2] After a challenging start with a loss to Bahrain 11–2, Saudi Arabia staged an impressive comeback against Kuwait, overcoming a 3–1 deficit at half-time to secure a 4–3 victory. Although they faced a loss on the final day against the UAE, it resulted in a historic bronze medal for the team.[3]
In April 2022, it was announced that Saudi Arabia would be the host nation for its inaugural major women's futsal tournament, the 2022 WAFF Women's Futsal Championship.[4] For their debut appearance, the national team was drawn with Kuwait and debutante Oman.[5] In a historic finish the team finished as runners-up, losing to Iraq 2–4 in the final.[6]
