More than forty years of global competition

The world indoor soccer championships have a rich history of just over four decades.
The discipline, created by Professor Juan Carlos Ceriani in Montevideo, Uruguay in 1930, expanded first throughout South America and then throughout the world and once its practice acquired an official, formal and constant character, after being firmly established in South America and having promoted several continental competitions (starting with the first held at the Comuneros stadium in Asunción in 1965, which had Paraguay as champion), the time came for the dispute at the world level.
As a test bed, in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, on the occasion of the inauguration of the new Mineirinho stadium in 1980, an Intercontinental Cup was played, a direct predecessor of the first World Cup, also held in Brazil, in the city of São Paulo, two years later.
That intercontinental competition had Paraguay as champion, which won the tournament undefeated, defeating France and Uruguay and beating Brazil 3-2 in the final.
From 1982 to 2000, the organizing entity of the World Cups was the International Indoor Soccer Federation (FIFUSA). Since 2003, the governing institution that has carried out this event is the World Indoor Soccer Association (AMFutsal).
Twelve editions have already been completed, thus distributing the champion titles:
Paraguay and Colombia, three titles each; Brazil and Argentina two; Portugal and Venezuela one.
