History
editAn informal form of futsal was being played in the Philippines as early as the 1960s to the 1980s, usually as part of a cross training for footballers during rainy weather. It was only in the late 1990s, that official futsal international tournaments were held and during this time the Philippine national team is already playing international friendlies under coaches Noel Casilao and Hans Smit.[2]

In the event Philippines or Timor-Leste (or both) emerge as one of the top four teams [in the 2017 ASEAN Futsal Championship group stage], the next best ranked team(s) in the ASEAN Zone will qualify for the final round, as Philippines and Timor-Leste did not submit their entries for the AFC Futsal Championship 2018.
