The Spanish regional women’s futsal championship for under-16 and under-19 divisions is set to illuminate the sport across several coastal towns, with Alicante serving as the central hub for the event. Competitors will come from across the country to compete inside a framework that blends intense competition with regional pride. The schedule clearly outlines a week-long focus on youth development, bringing together 321 players who are distributed into 13 squads for each age bracket. The championship sequence reflects a strong commitment to showcasing emerging talent in a format that encourages fair play, rigorous competition, and national-level exposure for young female players.
The mornings of February 13 to 15 will feature the group-stage matches hosted at two prominent venues, Camilo Cano in La Nucía and Pau Gasol in l’Alfàs del Pi. These sessions will be open to the public, offering free access to all games and providing a welcoming environment for families, coaches, and scouts alike. The tournament culminates with the semifinals on February 16 and the grand final on February 17, both staged in the modern pavilion at l’Illa de Benidorm. The format is designed to maximize spectator engagement while ensuring players gain meaningful competitive experience in a high-stakes setting that mirrors national-level tournaments.
Teams from a broad spectrum of regional federations will contend for glory in both age divisions. The participant regions include Navarra, Aragon, Catalonia, Cantabria, Castilla La Mancha, Andalusia, the Valencian Community, Galicia, Murcia, Melilla, Extremadura, and Madrid. Notably, Ceuta will send competitors only to the under-16 category, while the Canary Islands will participate solely in the under-19 competition. This structure underlines the tournament’s role as a cross-regional showcase, promoting equality of opportunity and parallel pathways for young athletes across diverse parts of the country.
The event’s presentation at the Camilo Cano pavilion highlighted the collaboration between local authorities and regional sports bodies. Present at the unveiling were figures such as the Alicante delegate from the Valencian Community Football Federation and a representative from La Nucía’s Sports Council. Their involvement illustrates the strong support system behind the competition, which aims to inspire local communities and strengthen youth sport infrastructure while creating a platform where promising players can gain visibility and experience in a national context.
