UEFA Under-19 Futsal EURO 2022 at a glance: Spain success again

Spain have now won both editions of the UEFA European Under-19 Futsal Championship after retaining the title as hosts.

A summary of the second finals in Jaén, which happened a year behind schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic but was worth the wait, with 99 goals across the 15 games and drama throughout.

• Spain player Nicolás Marrón (the 2022 joint top scorer) and coach Albert Canillas were part of their victories in both 2019 and 2022.
• Spain achieved new competition-record wins in both their opening two games.
• All 12 Spain outfield players scored in the tournament among their 33 goals.
• Three of the semi-finalists were the same as 2019: Spain, Poland and Portugal. Ukraine prevented a clean sweep by coming back from 4-1 down to beat Croatia 6-4 in the opener and ultimately pip them to Group A second place behind the hosts.
• The final in Jaén attracted a record crowd of 3,067 fans.
