Futsal EURO 2026 qualifying main round: Armenia, Czechia, Portugal into finals

So far Armenia, Czechia and holders Portugal have won their UEFA Futsal EURO 2026 qualifying main round groups to seal their spots in the final tournament, with seven more places plus all eight play-off spots to be settled when the last fixtures unfold between 10 and 16 April.

The ten main round group winners join co-hosts Latvia and Lithuania in the 2026 finals from 20 January to 7 February in Riga and Kaunas, with the eight best runners-up entering the play-offs in September 2025.

Holders Portugal became the first team to seal qualification from the main round on 5 February. Czechia and (earning a major tournament debut) Armenia were next to join them after sealing top spot in their sections on 12 March.

Armenia sealed their spot by beating Kazakhstan, who finish Group 6 in second place. The Netherlands are also runners-up behind Portugal in the now complete Group 7 but both they and Kazakhstan must wait to see if they will be among the eight play-off contenders.

Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, France, Poland, Spain and Ukraine have all clinched at least a play-off (though can still win their groups to qualify automatically). Belarus and Italy will also be the top two in Group 2 with their effective decider on 11 April. Slovenia are six points clear in Group 4 but could still be overtaken by both Hungary and Norway.

So far in qualifying, a number of nations have enjoyed record home crowds, or at least home competitive crowds: Andorra, Armenia, Austria, Cyprus, Denmark (the 3,570 against Albania nearly three times their previous record for a home futsal game), England, Finland, Germany (their home record 3,484 against Cyprus, an attendance number which they nearly matched in their loss to Ukraine), Greece, Kosovo, Norway, Switzerland and Türkiye.
