The Women’s Committee of Oman Football Association has announced the results of
the draw for the Women’s Futsal League for the 2026/2027 sports season,

Hajar Khamis Al Muzaini, member
of the Board of Directors of Oman Football Association and Chairwoman of the
Women’s Committee, stated that domestic competitions serve as the fundamental
pillar for the development of women’s football, providing a sustained
competitive environment that contributes to talent identification and the
technical, physical, and mental development of players.

She further emphasized that the
league constitutes a vital platform for player monitoring and performance
evaluation, which directly impacts the quality of selection options available
to the national teams across various age categories in the upcoming phase.

In a statement to Oman News
Agency (ONA), she explained that following the closure of registration for
clubs wishing to participate, Oman Football Association ensured the convening
of an introductory meeting with club representatives. During this session, the
tournament regulations and system were reviewed, and all organizational and
technical aspects were discussed to ensure clarity of roles and
responsibilities.

The preparatory phase also
includes the implementation of a comprehensive package of training courses and
workshops tailored for team administrators, match observers and referees, aimed
at enhancing the competence of national cadres and fostering a professional
environment conducive to the success of the new season.

She added that the teams were
allocated into two groups in accordance with the draw results, and the league
will be conducted in two stages. In the first stage, teams will be classified
into two groups following a specific mechanism, with the top-placed teams from
each group advancing to the second stage of the league, which will be contested
under a home-and-away round-robin format within a single group.

Meanwhile, the lower-ranked clubs
will compete in a separate competition designated as the “Talent
Cup,” designed to increase the number of competitive matches and elevate
the technical standards of both clubs and players, she pointed out.
