We remind you that the final tournament of the second in history Women's European Futsal Championship, which Ukraine will participate in, will take place from July 1 to 3 this year.

Earlier, UEFA announced that the final tournament of the Women's Euro-2022 Futsal Championship, which was supposed to take place from March 25th to 27th in Portugal, has been postponed. This decision was made after consultations and obtaining consent from the football association of the host country.

Later, UEFA announced the new dates for semifinals and medal matches. The games are scheduled for July 1-3. Thus, on July 1st, Ukraine's national team will play against Spain in the semifinal. The venue of the final tournament has not changed — all meetings will take place in Gondomar, Portugal.

In another semifinal match, teams from Portugal and Russia were supposed to meet. However, due to Russian military aggression against Ukraine, FIFA and UEFA excluded the national teams of Russia and clubs from the aggressor country from all competitions under their auspices. Consequently, the women's futsal team of Russia will not participate in the Euro-2022 final tournament. According to UEFA's decision, Hungary, which secured second place in its group during the main round qualification, will take part in the continental top-tier.
