UEFA Futsal Euro 2022 qualifying

International football competition


The UEFA Futsal Euro 2022 qualifying competition will be a men's futsal competition that determines the 15 teams joining the automatically qualified hosts Netherlands in the UEFA Futsal Euro 2022 final tournament,[2] the first tournament to be held on a four-year basis and featuring 16 teams.[3]

Quick Facts Tournament details, Dates ...

A record number of 50 of the 55 UEFA member national teams entered the competition, including Austria and Northern Ireland which entered for the first time. Apart from hosts Netherlands, the remaining 49 teams entered the qualifying competition.[4] The 16 teams which advanced to the 2020 FIFA Futsal World Cup European qualifying elite round were given byes to the qualifying group stage, which for the first time would be played in home-and-away round-robin format, while the remaining 33 teams entered in the qualifying round.[5]

Format

The qualifying competition consists of four rounds:[5][6]

  • Qualifying round: The 33 teams which enter this round are drawn into nine groups: six groups of four teams and three groups of three teams. Each group is played in single round-robin format at one of the teams selected as hosts before the draw. The nine group winners advance to the qualifying group stage, while the nine group runners-up and the five third-placed teams with the best record against the first and second-placed teams in their group advance to the qualifying round play-offs.
  • Qualifying round play-offs: The 14 teams are drawn into seven ties to play home-and-away two-legged matches. The seven winners advance to the qualifying group stage.
  • Qualifying group stage: The 32 teams (16 World Cup qualifying elite round teams which receive bye to this round, nine qualifying round group winners and seven qualifying round play-off winners) are drawn into eight groups of four. Each group is played in home-and-away round-robin format. The eight group winners and the six runners-up with the best record against all teams in their group qualify for the final tournament, while the remaining two runners-up advance to the play-offs.
  • Play-offs: The two teams play home-and-away two-legged matches to determine the last qualified team.

Tiebreakers

In the qualifying round and qualifying group stage, 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, 14.02 and 17.01):[6]

  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. (Qualifying group stage only) Away goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
  5. 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;
  6. Goal difference in all group matches;
  7. Goals scored in all group matches;
  8. (Qualifying group stage only) Away goals scored in all group matches;
  9. (Qualifying group stage only) Wins in all group matches;
  10. (Qualifying group stage only) Away wins in all group matches;
  11. (Qualifying round only) 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);
  12. Disciplinary points (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3 points);
  13. UEFA coefficient ranking for the qualifying round or qualifying group stage draw;
  14. (Qualifying round only) Drawing of lots.

To determine the five best third-placed teams from the qualifying round, the results against the teams in fourth place are discarded. To determine the six best runners-up from the qualifying group stage, all results are considered. The following criteria are applied (Regulations Articles 14.04 and 15.02):[6]

  1. Points;
  2. Goal difference;
  3. Goals scored;
  4. (Qualifying group stage only) Away goals scored;
  5. (Qualifying group stage only) Wins;
  6. (Qualifying group stage only) Away wins;
  7. Disciplinary points;
  8. UEFA coefficient ranking for the qualifying round or qualifying group stage draw;
  9. (Qualifying round only) Drawing of lots

In the qualifying round play-offs and play-offs, the team that scores more goals on aggregate over the two legs qualifies for the final tournament. If the aggregate score is level, the away goals rule is applied, i.e., the team that scores more goals away from home over the two legs advances. If away goals are also equal, extra time is played. The away goals rule is again applied after extra time, i.e., if there are goals scored during extra time and the aggregate score is still level, the visiting team advances by virtue of more away goals scored. If no goals are scored during extra time, the tie is decided by penalty shoot-out (Regulations Article 21.01).[6]

Schedule

The qualifying matches are played on dates that fall within the FIFA Futsal International Match Calendar.[5][7]

Qualifying round

Draw

The draw for the qualifying round was held on 7 November 2019, 13:30 CET (UTC+1), at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.[4] The seeding was based on the new Elo-based futsal men's national-team coefficient ranking taken on 28 October 2019.[8] The 33 teams were drawn into nine groups: six groups of four containing one team from each of the seeding positions 1–4, and three groups of three containing one team from each of the seeding positions 1–3. First, the nine teams which were pre-selected as hosts were drawn from their own designated pot and allocated to their respective group as per their seeding positions (since Malta were in seeding position 4, they had to be host a four-team group). Next, the remaining 24 teams were drawn from their respective pot which were allocated according to their seeding positions. Based on the decisions taken by the UEFA Emergency Panel, Kosovo and Bosnia and Herzegovina could not be drawn in the same group.
