Torrevieja, Alicante, is set to welcome athletes and spectators from around the globe as it hosts the 2025 Virtus World Futsal Championship from November 29 to December 8, 2025. This prestigious event will bring together top futsal players with intellectual impairment, furthering the city’s commitment to inclusivity and sports excellence. Virtus member in Spain, Federación Española de Deportes para personas con Discapacidad Intelectual (FEDDI) will be organising the event.

Torrevieja has established itself as a premier destination for international sporting events, previously hosting competitions such as the Mediterranean International Regatta, the International City of Torrevieja Half Marathon, and the World Youth Sailing Championships. With its scenic Mediterranean coastline and strong sports infrastructure, the city continues to attract world-class events that boost tourism and foster community engagement.

“The Virtus World Futsal Championship is not just a competition—it is an opportunity to raise awareness about sports for individuals with intellectual disabilities. A key objective of this event is to ensure that athletes with an intellectual impairment have the same access to competitive sports as everyone else,” said Celia Garote, Executive Director of FEDDI.

“Our aim is for more people in Spain to understand who FEDDI and Virtus are and the crucial work we do to promote inclusivity in sports. We are confident that hosting this event will help us take a significant step forward in this mission,” she further added.

The championship will take place at the Palacio de los Deportes de Torrevieja “Tavi y Carmona”, a modern multi-sport facility with a 3,500-seat capacity, making it ideal for large-scale international tournaments. The venue features state-of-the-art futsal courts and is well-equipped to host athletes, coaches, and fans in a dynamic and energetic atmosphere.

Adding to the excitement, the championship will coincide with the Torrevieja Patron Saint Festival, providing visitors with the unique opportunity to experience the city’s rich cultural traditions alongside world-class sporting action.
