Associations wishing to host a mini-tournament must notify the UEFA administration in writing on the relevant form by the entry deadline.
In principle, for the preliminary round, the UEFA administration designates the mini-tournament hosts before the corresponding draw according to the following principles:
-
quality of the infrastructure (e.g. halls);
-
travel distances;
-
promotional concept;
-
previous experience as a host;
-
development of futsal.
Should it not be possible to designate all mini-tournament hosts before the draw, the associations in the group(s) concerned must agree, within a set deadline after the draw, which of them will host the mini-tournament(s) in question. If the associations cannot agree, the UEFA administration will conduct a draw for this purpose.
