How ties are broken in the Futsal EURO 2026 group stage:

Official competition regulations: Article 21

If two or more teams in the same group are equal on points on completion of the group stage, the following criteria are applied, in the order given, to determine their rankings:

• a) higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question;
• b) superior goal difference from the group matches played among the teams in question;
• c) higher number of goals scored in the group matches played among the teams in question;
• d) If, after having applied criteria a) to c), teams still have an equal ranking, criteria a) to c) are reapplied exclusively to the group matches between the remaining teams to determine their final rankings. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria e) to h) apply in the order given to the two or more teams still equal;
• e) superior goal difference in all group matches;
• f) higher number of goals scored in all group matches;
• g) lower disciplinary points total based only on yellow and red cards received by players and team officials in all group matches (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3 points);
• h) higher position in the UEFA senior men's futsal national team coefficient rankings used for the final draw.

If two teams that have the same number of points and have scored and conceded the same number of goals play their last group match against each other and are still equal at the end of that match, their final rankings are determined by a penalty shoot-out, provided that no other teams within the group have the same number of points on completion of all group matches. Should more than two teams have the same number of points, the criteria a) to h) above. This procedure is only necessary if a ranking of the teams is required to determine the teams qualified for the quarter-finals.
