Futsal EURO 2026 qualifying main round: Armenia, Belarus, Croatia, Czechia, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Ukraine into finals

Armenia, Belarus, Croatia, Czechia, Poland, holders Portugal, Slovenia and Ukraine have won their UEFA Futsal EURO 2026 qualifying main round groups to seal their spots in the final tournament, with two more places plus all eight play-off berths to be settled when the last fixtures are played on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The ten main round group winners join co-hosts Latvia and Lithuania in the 2026 finals from 20 January to 7 February in Riga and Kaunas, with the eight best runners-up entering the play-offs in September 2025.

Ukraine qualified on Friday as they defeated Cyprus 11-1 while the only side that could catch them, Romania, lost 2-1 in Germany. Croatia are also through after a 6-0 win against nearest challengers Greece (who remain in the play-off hunt) and Belarus beat twice champions Italy 2-1 to qualify for the first time since their 2010 debut.

On Thursday, Poland qualified with a 6-0 win against Türki̇ye thanks to Moldova keeping their own play-off hopes alive by defeating Slovakia, currently second in Group 3, 5-3. Slovenia also booked their place with a 4-0 victory against Norway as Hungary clinched second position in Group 4 by winning 3-2 in Montenegro.

Holders Portugal became the first team to confirm qualification from the main round in February and the following month Czechia and major tournament debutants Armenia were next to join them. There are two direct group deciders that will settle the remaining direct finals slots: Bosnia and Herzegovina host Spain in Group 8 on Tuesday needing a six-goal win, and the following day Group 10 leaders France visit Georgia, who require victory by a margin of four or more to overtake Les Bleus.

Armenia will make their finals debutUEFA/FFA

Kazakhstan, runners-up behind Armenia, must wait to see if they will be among the eight play-off contenders, just like Hungary, Italy and Romania, who all still have a game to play but are confirmed second in their groups. However Netherlands, Group 7 runners-up behind Portugal, will not be able to reach the play-offs as one of the eight best second-placed teams. In contrast, Bosnia and Herzegovina, France, Georgia, and Spain all know if they finish second in their group, they are at least assured a play-off.

So far in qualifying a number of nations have enjoyed record home crowds or home competitive crowds: Andorra, Armenia, Austria, Cyprus, Denmark (the 3,570 against Albania nearly three times their previous record for a home futsal game), England, Finland, Germany (their home record 3,484 against Cyprus, an attendance number which they nearly matched in their loss to Ukraine), Greece, Kosovo, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Türkiye.
