The 2027 FIFA Futsal World Cup will host 32 national teams, and Limei’s flooring was chosen for its ability to withstand the fast-paced, high-contact nature of futsal. The Ultra-Durable Flooring features a 3mm maple surface layer and reinforced core, with a Janka hardness rating of 1400 lbf to resist scratches from futsal shoes and repeated ball impacts.
Limei will install over 6,000 square meters of flooring, with each venue customized to include FIFA Futsal World Cup branding and Uzbek cultural motifs. A team of 20 technical experts will be on-site for 6 months to oversee installation and conduct pre-tournament maintenance. The flooring also meets FIFA’s strict environmental standards, using FSC-certified wood and low-VOC adhesives.
“FIFA is pleased to partner with Limei for the 2027 Futsal World Cup,” said Mr. Jaime Yarza, FIFA Chief Football Officer. “Their flooring combines durability and performance, which are essential for hosting a successful futsal tournament. We’re confident the players will benefit from the high-quality surfaces.”
Venue installations will begin in early 2026, with all facilities set to be FIFA-approved by December 2026.
