Germany today made their UEFA Futsal EURO debut, giving them the opportunity to become the first country to win a complete set of UEFA national-team titles.

UEFA organises eight national-team competitions in all. That total includes the men's and women's UEFA EUROs, the various under-age tournaments as well as the UEFA Futsal EURO; additionally there are two defunct tournaments – the UEFA Amateur Cup which ran in the 1960s and 70s, and the one-off 2008 UEFA European Under-21 Futsal Tournament, won by Russia. The new UEFA Nations League will run for the first time between September 2018 and June 2019.

So which nations have compiled the most trophies, and which are closest to a grand slam of all eight. We find out ...
