The UEFA European Women's Futsal Championship,[1] also referred to as UEFA Women's Futsal Euro, is the main women's national futsal competition organized by UEFA.
The tournament was held every two years, with the first final tournament taking place in February 2019 and featuring four teams.[2][3] The second edition, originally to be held in 2021, was postponed to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]
From 2023 onwards, the tournament switched to a four-year cycle to accommodate the newly established FIFA Futsal Women's World Cup.[5]
Spain is the most successful team after winning the first three editions.
