The UEFA Futsal Euro 2026 final was the final match of the UEFA Futsal Euro 2026, the 13th edition of the quadrennial continental tournament in men's national futsal teams, organised by Europe's governing body, UEFA. The match was played at Arena Stožice in Ljubljana, Slovenia, on 7 February 2026, and was contested by defending champions Portugal and Spain.

The tournament comprised co-hosts Latvia, Lithuania and Slovenia and 13 other teams. The 16 teams competed in a group stage, from which 8 teams qualified for the quarter-finals and 4 later advanced to the semifinals.

For Portugal, it is their fourth final and it is also the tenth final for the Spanish. This is the third time they have met each other in a European Championship final after 2010 and 2018, with each team winning once. Their last appearances for Portugal and Spain in the final were in 2022 and 2018 respectively.

Spain won their eighth title after beating Portugal 5–3 in the final in Ljubljana.

Background

The 2026 UEFA Futsal Championship, commonly referred to as UEFA Futsal Euro 2026, was the 13th edition of the UEFA Futsal Championship, the quadrennial international futsal championship organised by UEFA for the men's national teams of Europe.

This was the second tournament to be held on a four-year basis after 2022. It took place between 21 January and 7 February 2026.[1] The tournament was supposed to be held solely in Latvia and Lithuania, but due to their unwillingness to accommodate Belarus, UEFA added Slovenia as a third co-host as the Slovenians agreed to hosting the Belarusian team.[2][3] This marked the first time the Futsal Euro was co-hosted and the first UEFA tournament to have three nations hosting (excluding UEFA Euro 2020 as twelve cities across Europe hosted the event). This was the first time a senior UEFA national team tournament was held in the Baltics.

For the second time after the expansion in 2022, 16 teams took part. Qualification took place between April 2024 and September 2025. The original two co-hosts, Latvia and Lithuania, qualified automatically, becoming the first host nations to make their debut at the same tournament they are hosting. Armenia also made their debut.
