The 2024 FIFA Futsal World Cup will be the tenth edition of the FIFA Futsal World Cup, the quadrennial international futsal championship contested by the men's national teams of the member associations of FIFA. The tournament will be held in Uzbekistan.[1] It will be the first FIFA tournament ever hosted by Uzbekistan, the first FIFA tournament to be ever hosted in Central Asia and the fourth Futsal World Cup hosted in Asia; the others being 1992 in Hong Kong, 2004 in Taiwan and 2012 in Thailand. The tournament will return to its usual four-year cycle after the previous tournament was delayed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Portugal is the defending champion, defeating Argentina in the final, 2–1.
In April 2023, Morocco was reported to have been given the hosting rights as they were reported to be the only bid submitted to FIFA.[6][7] However, Uzbekistan was selected as host on 23 June 2023.[1]
Uzbekistan's enthusiasm and impressive track-record at hosting events were deemed as the reasons for Uzbekistan's selection.[8] This marks the first time a FIFA tournament has been held in Central Asia. Prior, Uzbekistan was supposed to host the 2012 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, but were stripped of the hosting rights due to a number of logistical and technical issues.
