What to expect from the UEFA Futsal Euro 2026?
If you’re late to the Futsal frenzy, you don’t know what you’ve been missing. It’s a fast-paced version of indoor 5-a-side football that’s been around for almost a century. A small, low-bounce ball is used, which places an emphasis on close control and technical skill. While there are a whole raft of rule differences compared to regular football, some of the standout ones include no offsides, a stopping clock and unlimited rolling substitutions.
The growth of the sport has been immense over the past decade and many football stars of the modern era, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Neymar credit their skills to the fast-paced, indoor game. FIFA estimates futsal is now played by more than 30 million people worldwide.
UEFA Futsal Euro 2026 matches are going to be held in venues in Latvia, Lithuania, and Slovenia and marks the first time the Futsal Euros will be a co-hosted event. Bumper crowds attended, including 10,000+ for the final in Ljubljana, when Slovenia hosted the 2018 tournament and we can expect high attendances again. Make sure you secure seats now to avoid any disappointment.
With four of the world’s top-10 sides in action (Portugal, Spain, Ukraine and France) competing for glory at UEFA Futsal Euro 2026, we're guaranteed high quality action throughout the event. While Portugal are the two-time defending champions, following their successes in 2018 and 2022, Spain are the most decorated team of all-time, having reigned supreme on no less than seven occasions. Ukraine, who twice came close to lifting the trophy in the past, when runners-up in 2001 and 2003, will start the tournament as one of the favourites once again too.
