History
Futsal was introduced to Tahiti in 2005 and rapidly gained popularity. The football association organized its first futsal league in 2007. The territory participated in the OFC Futsal Nations Cup for the first time in the 2008 edition of the tournament. That year, the team finished runners-up to the Solomon Islands. Tahiti repeated the performance in 2011, again finishing behind only the Solomons. The nation played its first match at home on 29 March 2013, a 3–1 friendly victory over New Zealand at the Fautaua Sports Hall.
Tahiti was invited to participate in the 2017 Asian Indoor and martial Arts Games in Turkmenistan. The team was drawn into a group with Jordan, Kyrgyzstan, and tournament favorites Iran. The team suffered a 1–16 defeat in their opening match against the latter on 18 September 2017. Tahiti was joined in the competition by fellow OFC member, Solomon Islands. The two nations became the first from Oceania to compete in the competition. The tournament also marked the first time Tahiti played outside of its own region.
