The 2022 UEFA Under-19 Futsal Championship (also known as UEFA Under-19 Futsal Euro 2022) was the second edition of the UEFA Under-19 Futsal Championship, the biennial international youth futsal championship organised by UEFA for the men's under-19 national teams of Europe.[1][2] The tournament was originally scheduled to be held between 1 and 7 November 2021,[3][4] but the competition was postponed to 3 to 10 September 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] The tournament was held at the Olivo Arena in Jaén, Spain.[6]

A total of eight teams played in the final tournament, with players born on or after 1 January 2002 eligible to participate.[7] Spain were the defending champions.[8]

They defended the title with a 6–2 win after extra time against Portugal.[9]

The hosts were originally to be confirmed by the UEFA Executive Committee on 3 December 2020. However, the decision was delayed. On 19 April 2021, the UEFA Executive Committee appointed the Olivo Arena in Jaén, Spain as the tournament host.[11]

The preliminary round was originally to be held between 12 and 17 January 2021, and the main round was originally to be held between 23 and 28 March 2021.

Tiebreakers

In the 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 18.01 and 18.02):[7]

  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. 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;
  5. Goal difference in all group matches;
  6. Goals scored in all group matches;
  7. 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);
  8. Disciplinary points (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3 points);
  9. UEFA coefficient for the qualifying round draw;
  10. Drawing of lots.
