Iran's Niloufar Ardalan notably defied a travel ban to take part in the 2015 tournament[2][3] after her husband did not approve of her leaving Iran.[4]

The tournament is endorsed by national associations such as the Japan Football Association[5], Iranian Football Federation[2] and FEDEFUT.[6] FIFA runs the men's FIFA Futsal World Cup but not the Women's Futsal World Tournament. As of 2020, FIFA has never held a women's futsal world cup.[7][8]
