Forty-five of the 49 entrants were involved in the opening draws of the 2011/12 UEFA Futsal Cup – 28 teams in the preliminary round (sides ranked 22 to 49), with another 17 entering in the main round (sides 5-21).

The preliminary round will consist of seven groups of four teams while the main round involves six sections of four clubs. In all cases the mini-tournament hosts have already been designated.

The preliminary round contenders were split into four seeding tiers: sides ranked 22-28, 29-35, 36-42 and 43-49. First, the preordained hosts were drawn from Pot 1 and placed in order from Groups A to G; they were positioned in their allotted group according to their ranking.

Then the remaining clubs from the fourth tier were drawn from Pot 2, placed in the available fourth positions from Groups B-G. Then followed the third tier (Pot 3), second tier (Pot 4) and top tier (Pot 5). Matches will be played from 13 to 21 August, with the seven group winners going into the main round.

The main round contestants were split into four seeding tiers: teams ranked 5-10, 11-16, 17-21 and preliminary round winners. First to be drawn were the hosts from Pot 6 – allocated, in order, to Groups 1-6 and put in their appropriate seeding position.

Then the preliminary round winners was drawn from Pot 7; the first six picked out was placed in the fourth position in Groups 1-6, before the remaining winner was placed in the third position in the first free section.

The remaining third-tier teams from Pot 8 were then drawn, followed by the second-ranked sides from Pot 9 and the first-ranked from Pot 10. Matches will be played from 24 September to 2 October.
