National women's futsal team by year end' - Oman Football Association
Oman's first official national women's team for futsal, a variation of football, is to be set up by the end of this year, according to the governing body.
The team, when it is formed, will represent the Sultanate at all major competitions, and will have its own dedicated coaching staff. Officials say they are currently searching for full-time, international coaches.
In addition, plans are being drawn up to introduce futsal tournaments for women by the end of the year, so that more will be encouraged to take up the sport, leading to a new generation of athletes that can fly the flag for Oman at international tournaments.
The recent Women's World Cup in France, which saw team USA beat the Dutch 2-0 in the final, was watched by a record audience and women's soccer in the USA is now a major revenue driver as audiences grow. More people watched the Women's World Cup than watched the last men's World Cup final, according to advertising analysts.
Speaking to Times of Oman, Saeed Al Bulushi, the General Secretary of the Oman Football Association, said, “We have plans, but only on the closed pitches, for women’s futsal. Whenever there is a tournament, we do arrange a team from different clubs to go and play. Now, before the end of this year, we are going to form a national team, and we are planning to find a coach for them.“
