UEFA Futsal EURO 2018 schedule confirmed

Hosts Slovenia will kick off UEFA Futsal EURO 2018 against Serbia on 30 January, hoping to reverse the scoreline of the same fixture two years ago when the hosts in Belgrade started with a 5-1 win.

That start was confirmed as the schedule was announced for the finals at Ljubljana’s Stožice Arena from 30 January. A day later, the only finals debutants – France – play their first game in a major tournament against holders Spain. The top two teams from each of the three-team groups will advance to the quarter-finals starting on 5 February.

Group A: Slovenia (hosts), Italy, Serbia
Group B: Russia, Kazakhstan, Poland
Group C: Portugal, Ukraine, Romania
Group D: Spain (holders), Azerbaijan, France
