The preliminary and main round draws streamed live at 15:00 CET on 30 August pave the road to the 2022 finals.

The UEFA European Under-19 Futsal Championship preliminary and main round draws streamed live at 15:00 CET on 30 August pave the road to the 2022 finals.

In all 34 teams have entered, with 33 competing to join hosts Spain in the finals in Jaén scheduled from 3–10 September 2022. Spain won the first edition in Riga in 2019; hoping to again reach the last eight will be runners-up Croatia, semi-finalists Portugal and Poland plus group contenders Russia, Ukraine, the Netherlands and hosts Latvia. Making their debuts will be Estonia, Gibraltar and Wales.

How the draw works

Hosts Spain will receive a bye to the finals.

Of the 33 other entrants, the seven lowest-ranked association by coefficient (based on results in the inaugural edition) begin in November's preliminary round.

The seven preliminary round contenders will compete for two places alongside the 26 nations entering in March's main round, which will produce Spain's seven opponents for the finals.
Both rounds will be played as one-venue mini-tournaments with the group winners progressing to the next stage.

Preliminary round (2–7 November 2021)

Teams will be split into three seeding tiers (two in each of positions 1 and 2, and the other three in positions 3 or 4), based on their coefficients, and drawn accordingly. Group A will contain four teams and Group B will have three.
San Marino (position 2) and Gibraltar (position 3 or 4) have been pre-designated as mini-tournament hosts and will be drawn from a separate Pot 1 while maintaining their seeding. If Gibraltar are drawn in Group A, they will occupy position 4; if they are in Group B they will occupy position 3.
Next to be drawn will be Pot 2, containing the remaining teams from the lowest seeding tier, Estonia and Wales. If Gibraltar are in Group A, the first team drawn will be placed in position 3 of Group A and the other in position 3 of Group B. If Gibraltar are in Group B, both Estonia and Wales will be in Group A with the draw determining who occupies position 3 or 4.
Pot 3 will contain just one team, Montenegro. They will be drawn into position 2 or whichever group San Marino were not placed in.
Pot 4 will contain North Macedonia and Andorra, who will each be placed in position 1 with the first team drawn in Group A.
Any further restrictions will be confirmed ahead of the draw.
