After decades of neglect, Fatema Hayat was appointed in May 2018 as the first female board member of the Kuwait Football Association (KFA).

After visiting and meeting with counterparts in Jordan and Bahrain to learn from their experience, the committee also met with several FIFA representatives to strategize on the best way to move forward.

With FIFA's support and funds in hand, the WFC hit the ground running and hired renowned head coach Shahrzad Mozafar to lead Kuwait women's national futsal team.

The league played an important role in helping Coach Mozafar pick players for the Kuwait Women's National Futsal Team.

After watching them play for their respective clubs, Coach Mozafar chose 17 players to represent Kuwait in women's futsal.
