As a reminder, the inaugural European Under-19 Futsal Championship took place in Rijeka in 2019 and the second edition was held in Hain in 2022 — both times (2019, 2022) Spain's team emerged as champions. The second championship was initially planned for 2021 but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ukraine's national team participated in both final tournaments. In 2019, Vitaliy Odegov’s charges secured third place in their group, while in 2022 they were eliminated in the semifinals.
