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

Armenia, Belarus, Croatia, Czechia, France, Poland, holders Portugal, Slovenia, Spain and Ukraine have won their UEFA Futsal EURO 2026 qualifying main round groups to seal their spots in the final tournament, with the eight-team play-off line-up also settled.

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.

France claimed the last automatic slot on Wednesday; needing to avoid a four-goal defeat in Georgia, Les Bleus fell 2-0 down but rallied to draw 3-3. On the penultimate day of action on Tuesday, Spain beat Bosnia and Herzegovina 3-2 to keep up their record of qualifying in every edition.

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 went through after a 6-0 win against nearest challengers Greece 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. 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 (beating Kazakhstan) were next to join them.

Belgium were the last team to be confirmed in the play-offs as they ended second in Group 9 ahead of Serbia on Wednesday. They join Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Hungary, Italy, Kazakhstan, Romania and Slovakia in September's ties. Greece's loss to Sweden on Tuesday meant that, although they ended second in Group 5, they and Netherlands are the two runners-up to miss out.

A number of nations 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.
