2022–23 UEFA Futsal Champions League

37th edition of top European men's futsal competition


The 2022–23 UEFA Futsal Champions League was the 37th edition of Europe's premier club futsal tournament, and the 22nd edition organized by UEFA. It was also the fifth edition since the tournament was rebranded from "UEFA Futsal Cup" to UEFA Futsal Champions League. The final tournament took place at the Palma Arena in Palma de Mallorca, Spain on 5–7 May 2023.

Quick Facts Tournament details, Dates ...

Debutants Palma Futsal defeated Sporting CP on penalties in the final to claim their first title in the competition and became the fifth club to win the title in their debut appearance. Benfica took bronze after beating Anderlecht, the first Belgian side to reach the last four since 2007. Barcelona were the defending champions, but were eliminated in the elite round.

Association team allocation

A total of 56 teams from 52 of the 55 UEFA member associations participated in the 2022–23 UEFA Futsal Champions League. The association ranking based on the UEFA futsal national team coefficients was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:

  • The top three-ranked associations have two teams qualify.
  • The winners of the 2021–22 UEFA Futsal Champions League qualify automatically and its association can also enter a second team. If the title-holders' association is among the top three-ranked associations, the 4th ranked association is also entitled to enter a second team.
  • The remaining associations have one team qualify.

For this season, the top three-ranked associations are Portugal, Russia, and Spain. As the title holders are from Spain, the 4th ranked association, Kazakhstan, can enter two teams. After UEFA's decision to exclude Russian clubs from the 2022–23 UEFA competitions due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine,[1] the right to enter a second team passed to the 5th ranked association, Croatia.[2]

Association ranking

The UEFA futsal national team coefficients at the end of April 2022, used to determine the number of teams each association was entitled to enter, was as follows.[3]

    The 2021–22 Serie A champions, Italservice Pesaro, withdrew from the tournament. Therefore, the runners-up Feldi Eboli were selected to be the Italian representatives.[5]

Format

The tournament has a mini-tournament format consisting of three qualifying rounds and the final tournament. The qualifying rounds consisted of the following stages:[2][6]

  • Preliminary round: 32 teams entering this round were divided into eight groups of four teams with the group winners advancing to the next round.
  • Main round:
    • Path A: 16 teams entering this round were divided into four groups of four teams, with the group winners, runners-up, and third-placed teams advancing to the next round.
    • Path B: 8 teams that entered in this round and the 8 teams advancing from the preliminary round were divided into four groups of four teams, with the group winners advancing to the next round.
  • Elite round: 16 teams advancing from the main round were divided into four groups of four teams, with the group winners qualifying for the final tournament.

In each group, teams played against each other in a single round-robin format hosted by one of the participating teams.

The final tournament is played at a centralized location and consisted of single-legged semi-finals, a third-place play-off, and final. If scores were level at the end of normal time, extra time was played, followed by a penalty shoot-out if the scores remained tied.

Tiebreakers

Teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If two or more teams were tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria were applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings (see Article 14 Equality of points – mini-tournaments, Regulations of the UEFA Futsal Champions League):[6]

  1. Points in head-to-head matches among the tied teams;
  2. Goal difference in head-to-head matches among the tied teams;
  3. Goals scored in head-to-head matches among the tied teams;
  4. If more than two teams were tied, and after applying all head-to-head criteria above, a subset of teams are still tied, all head-to-head criteria above were reapplied exclusively to this subset of teams;
  5. Goal difference in all group matches;
  6. Goals scored in all group matches;
  7. Disciplinary points (direct red card = 3 points; double yellow card = 3 points; single yellow card = 1 point);
  8. UEFA futsal club coefficients.

If two teams that have the same number of points and have scored and conceded the same number of goals play their last mini-tournament match against each other and are still equal at the end of that match, their final rankings are determined by a penalty shoot-out provided that no other teams within the group have the same number of points on completion of the mini-tournament. This procedure is only necessary if a ranking of the teams is required to determine the team which qualifies for the next stage.

Schedule

The schedule of the competition was as follows.[2]
