2008 FIFA Futsal World Cup qualification (UEFA)

The 2008 FIFA Futsal World Cup qualification (UEFA) determined the European nations that would participate in the 2008 FIFA Futsal World Cup, held in Brazil. UEFA was allocated six berths for the final tournament.

The qualification process involved a preliminary round and a main round. The preliminary round consisted of groups where teams competed in mini-tournaments, usually hosted by one of the participating nations. The winners and, in some cases, the best runners-up of these groups progressed to the main round.

The main round also involved groups where teams competed in mini-tournaments. The winners of each group automatically qualified for the FIFA Futsal World Cup. In some instances, the runners-up might have also qualified based on their performance, though this usually only occurred if fewer teams were participating than available berths.

The specific format and number of groups in each round could vary based on the number of UEFA member associations entering the competition. The UEFA qualification path aimed to provide a fair and competitive system for determining the continent’s representatives at the global futsal tournament. Key to success was often strong tactical awareness, individual skill, and the ability to perform well in the high-pressure environment of mini-tournaments.
