Spain retained their monopoly on the UEFA Women's Futsal EURO trophy in 2022, but unlike in the inaugural edition three years earlier, they were pushed all the way by Portugal.
Having won all eight matches they had ever played in this competition, including 4-0 in the first final against hosts Portugal, Spain returned to the scene of that triumph for the 2022 finals – and promptly strolled past eventual bronze-medallists Ukraine in the semis. However, they then trailed Portugal by two goals in the final and were also pegged back in the last minute of extra time before prevailing on penalties.
