History

Belgium played its first match against Netherlands on May 2, 1983, in Kerkrade, the Netherlands. The game ended in a 6–1 loss.{{Cite web |url=https://www.onsoranje.nl/teams/214672/uitslagen/wedstrijd/30469|title=Women's futsal: Netherlands 6–1 Belgium match report|language=nl|date=5 May 1983|website=onsoranje.nl|access-date=26 October 2024}} After its debut, and due to limited competition on the women's futsal scene, the team mainly played friendlies, including 10 matches against the Dutch team from 1984 to 1990.

After a period of hiatus, Belgium returned to the international scene in 2018 for the UEFA Women's Futsal Euro 2019 qualifiers Preliminary round, held in Northern Ireland from August 21 to 24, 2018. The team won their opening match against the hosts and earned the nickname The Black Flames.{{cite web |date=August 22, 2018|title=Vrouwelijke zaalvoetballers worden Black Flames: "We kozen voor stoer zwart"|language=nl|url=https://sporza.be/nl/2018/08/22/de-black-flames/|website=sporza.be|access-date=February 2, 2025}} However, a loss to Sweden on the final day meant they failed to qualify for the inaugural edition. in their second attempt, they managed to qualify for the main round.{{cite web |date=May 14, 2022|title=Belgische vrouwen plaatsen zich voor tweede ronde EK futsal|language=nl|url=https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20220514_97381994|website=nieuwsblad.be|access-date=February 2, 2025}}

Following the establishment of the FIFA Women's Futsal World Cup, Belgium registered for the European qualifiers, being drawn into Group 5 alongside Latvia, Slovakia, and hosts Sweden.{{cite web |first=Aernout|last=Van Lindt|date=July 1, 2024|title=Futsal Flames weten waar ze voor staan richting WK|language=nl|url=https://www.vrouwenvoetbalkrant.be/nieuws/2024-07-01/futsal-flames-weten-waar-ze-voor-staan-richting-wk|website=vrouwenvoetbalkrant.be|access-date=February 2, 2025}} The team failed to qualify for the inaugural edition, securing one win and two losses.{{cite web |last=Coudyser|first=Rune|date=October 19, 2024|title=Belgische futsalvrouwen mogen WK vergeten na pak slaag tegen Zweden|language=nl|url=https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20241019_96220584|website=nieuwsblad.be|access-date=February 2, 2025}}
