According to its results, the Ukrainian youth national team was placed in Group 2 of the main round, where it will face Romania, Serbia, and the winner of Group V from the preliminary round (Montenegro, San Marino, Gibraltar). The mini-tournament will be hosted by Serbia.

The venue for the final tournament of Euro-2022/2023 futsal among under-19s was announced as Poreč (Croatia). In addition to the hosts, Croatia, seven national teams will participate in the finals, which will be known after the second qualification round that ends by March 26, 2023. The format of the final tournament remains the same: eight participants will play in two groups of four teams each, with the top two from each group advancing to the semi-finals.

The inaugural European Championship for under-19 futsal was held in 2019 in Rijeka, and the second edition took place in Hagen 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.

The Ukrainian national team participated in both final tournaments. In 2019, Vitaliy Odegov's wards secured third place in their group, and in 2022 they were eliminated in the semi-finals.
