Qualified teams for the 2025 FIFA Futsal Women's World Cup
As the host nation, the Philippines have secured their place in the World Cup, regardless of their results in the Asian Cup.[10]
Should the Philippines advance to the semi-finals, all other semi-finalists would have automatically qualify. However, the Philippines did not reach the semi-finals, so the top three teams—the winners, runners-up, and third-place team—will secure qualification for the 2025 FIFA Futsal Women's World Cup.
The following four teams from AFC qualified for the tournament.
