The 2025 UEFA Women's Futsal Championship, also referred to as UEFA Women's Futsal Euro 2025, is the fourth edition of the UEFA Women's Futsal Championship, the biennial international futsal championship organised by UEFA for the women's national teams of Europe. The tournament has a new format expanded to have an eight-team final tournament, held every four years, to follow the introduction of a FIFA Futsal Women's World Cup.

Teams

[edit]

A total of 23 (out of 55) UEFA member national teams entered the main round (qualifying stage), with England, France and Norway making their debuts.[1]

In the main round, each group is played as a round-robin mini-tournament at the pre-selected hosts. Each group winner will advance to the Elite Round. Portugal and Spain received byes to the elite round as the best seeded teams. In the Elite round, the top 2 of each group will qualify for the 2025 FIFA Futsal Women's World Cup.

The draws for the main round was held on 30 May 2024, at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland. [2]

The mechanism of the draws for each round was as follows:

  • In the main round, the 23 teams were drawn into 5 groups of four teams and 1 group of three teams. The 23 teams were split into four seeding positions based on their Women's Futsal National Team Coefficient ranking[3] Five teams (Sweden, Czechia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Moldova) were pre-selected as hosts and drawn into Groups 1 to 5. Group 6 did not have a host assigned, with the home team determined by a draw.
  • In the Elite round, the six group winners qualify for the elite round to join top seeds Portugal and Spain. The elite round, drawn on 31 October and running from 18 to 23 March, will consist of two groups of four. The top two in each elite round group will qualify for the finals in the Philippines running from 21 November to 7 December 2025.

Format

[edit]

In the main round, each group is played as a round-robin mini-tournament at the pre-selected hosts. Each group winner will advance to the Elite Round. Portugal and Spain received byes to the elite round as the best seeded teams. In the Elite round, the top 2 of each group will qualify for the 2025 FIFA Futsal Women's World Cup.

In the final tournament, the top two in each group play in knockout format (semi-finals, third place match, and final), either at a host selected by UEFA from one of the teams, or at a neutral venue.

Tiebreakers

[edit]

In the preliminary round and main round, teams are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss), and if tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria are applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings (Regulations Articles 14.01 and 14.02):[5]

  1. Points in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
  2. Goal difference in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
  3. Goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
  4. If more than two teams are tied, and after applying all head-to-head criteria above, a subset of teams are still tied, all head-to-head criteria above are reapplied exclusively to this subset of teams;
  5. Goal difference in all group matches;
  6. Goals scored in all group matches;
  7. Penalty shoot-out if only two teams have the same number of points, and they met in the last round of the group and are tied after applying all criteria above (not used if more than two teams have the same number of points, or if their rankings are not relevant for qualification for the next stage);
  8. Disciplinary points (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3 points);
  9. UEFA coefficient ranking.
