The World Minifootball Federation (WMF) is the global governing body for mainly 6-a-side and other versions of minifootball (also called arena soccer). WMF exists to promote, supervise and direct minifootball growth.
History
[edit]Minifootball leagues and other events are organized by the WMF and its continental, national or local affiliates. The best teams from local leagues will advance to national championships. With the World Cup scheduled every two years, WMF also hosts the Continental Cup (top five nations of each federation), U23 World Cup, Women's World Cup and Champions Cup (top clubs of each federation), among other events.[1]
In November 2013 it was announced that WMF World Cup would be hosted in the United States.[2] United States defeated Mexico 5–3 in the 2015 Final.
The second edition of the WMF World Cup was played in Tunisia in October 2017.[3][4]
