The 2023 Micronesian Futsal Cup, commonly referred to as Micro Cup 2023, was the inaugural edition of the Micronesian Futsal Cup, the international futsal championship organised by Federated States of Micronesia Football Association for the men's national teams of Micronesia. It was the first competition of any kind for the FSM islands for five years (since the three islands participated in the 2018 Micronesian Games) and its first futsal event. [1] [2]
Yap emerged as the champions of the tournament by defeating Kosrae in the final with a score of 9 to 7. Kosrae, making their debut in a futsal or football competition, secured the second position. [3]
The tournament follows a two-stage structure consisting of a group and a knockout stage.
