The European qualifying competition for the 2024 FIFA Futsal World Cup was a men's futsal competition that determined the seven UEFA teams in the 2024 FIFA Futsal World Cup in Uzbekistan.
The qualifying competition consists of five stages:[2]
In the preliminary round each group is played as a round-robin mini-tournament at the pre-selected hosts.
In the main and the elite round, each team plays one home and one away match against each other team in its group.
In the preliminary round teams are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss), and if tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria are applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings (Regulations Articles 15.01 and 15.02):[2]
In the main and the elite round, teams are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss), and if tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria are applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings (Regulations Articles 15.01 and 15.02):[2]
In the play-offs, the team that scores more goals on aggregate over the two legs qualifies for the final tournament. As there is no away goals rule, if the aggregate score is level, an extra time of two 5-minute periods is played. If both teams score the same number of goals or no goals are scored during extra time, the tie is decided by penalty shoot-out (Regulations Article 16.01).[2]
The 48 teams were seeded according to the coefficient ranking. Seeded teams were determined based in November 2021 UEFA coefficient (shown in brackets). Six teams were pre-selected as hosts for the preliminary round. The draw for the preliminary round was held on 7 December 2021.
