The excitement surrounding the maiden FIFA Futsal Women’s World Cup™ reached new heights today following the official unveiling of Diwa™, the tournament’s magical and empowering mascot, during a special community event in Pasig City.

Set to take place from 21 November to 7 December 2025, the global showpiece will feature 16 of the world’s top women’s futsal national teams and will be the first FIFA tournament to be hosted in the Philippines.

A spirited and magical girl who is deeply connected to nature, Diwa made her debut outing at San Joaquin Elementary School during a futsal fun day.

Though blessed with extraordinary on-pitch attributes, including electrifying pace, breathtaking vision and unbeatable strength, Diwa’s true power lies in her teamwork, with her profile offering a reminder that collaboration and community are at the heart of futsal.

Hosted by the Local Organising Committee and the Philippine Football Federation, in partnership with the Philippine Sports Commission and Pasig City Government, today’s event brought children and families together in a joyful celebration of sport. Young participants took part in futsal skill clinics, friendly matches and lively interactions with Diwa.

The unveiling of the mascot is the first official community event on the road to the FIFA Futsal Women’s World Cup, with the gathering serving to energise local communities, promote futsal at grassroots level and build anticipation for what promises to be an unforgettable celebration of women’s sport.
