UEFA Futsal Euro 2026

The UEFA European Futsal Championship[1] is the main futsal competition of the men's national futsal teams governed by UEFA (the Union of European Football Associations).

## History

[edit]

The first tournament was held in Spain in 1996 and featured only six teams. The tournament was expanded to eight teams in 1999 and held every two years, and further to 12 teams in 2010.

After 2018, the tournament was expanded to 16 teams and held every four years, to avoid leap years when the FIFA Futsal World Cup is being played. The first 16-team tournament was held in 2022 in the Netherlands.[2]
