Futsal · Level 10: Professional · Sub-level 10.2

European Competition

10 tests · 100 facts · updated 14 October 2026 · markdown

This sub-level teaches how Europe organises its futsal — the UEFA Futsal EURO for national teams, first played in Spain in 1996 with six teams and grown in stages to eight, then twelve, then a sixteen-team field on a four-year cycle from 2022; Spain's grip on the trophy with eight titles, Italy and Portugal on two each and Russia one, from 1999; and the club side, the UEFA Futsal Champions League, which began in 2001 as the UEFA Futsal Cup, was renamed for the 2018-19 season, and has been decided at a Final Four weekend since 2006-07. Inter FS of Spain lead the club roll of honour with five titles ahead of Barcelona on four, with Sporting of Portugal and Palma Futsal of Spain the other recent winners, and Spain by far the strongest nation at club level; tests 6-10 add the EURO finals in detail, the EURO hosts, the club finals, clubs on the big stage, and reading Europe's records.

Each test below is ten questions on Insporta. The list under a test is what the questions check: one fact per question, with the source it was written from. Read it before the test, or come back from a wrong answer.
