The UEFA Executive Committee has chosen Slovenia as the host of the UEFA Futsal EURO 2018 and appointed various hosts for its U17, U19 and U21 events

The UEFA Futsal EURO 2018 final tournament will take place in Slovenia, following a decision by the UEFA Executive Committee on Monday in Nyon, Switzerland.

The bid from the Football Association of Slovenia (NZS) was selected ahead of others from FYR Macedonia and Romania. 

The venue for the tournament will be the 12,500-capacity Stožice Arena in the Slovenian capital of Ljubljana. 

Slovenia hosted the UEFA European Under-17 Championship, but this will be the first time it has hosted the Futsal final tournament organised by Slovenia.

The UEFA Futsal EURO 2016 will take place in Belgrade from 2–13 February next year. Previous hosts of the tournament include Belgium (2014), Croatia (2012), Hungary (2010), Portugal (2007), Czech Republic (2005), Italy (2003), Russia (2001) and Spain (1999).

At the Executive Committee meeting, UEFA also appointed Sporting Clube de Portugal as host of the 2014/15 Futsal Cup finals.

Futsal is a form of five-a-side football played indoors on a hard surface.

Poland was selected to host the 2015–17 UEFA European Under-21 Championship final tournament.

The 2016/17 UEFA European Under-19 Championship final tournament was awarded to Georgia while Finland will host the 2017/18 UEFA European Under-19 Championship final tournament.

Croatia was selected to host the 2016/17 UEFA European Under-17 Championship final tournament, while England will host the 2017/18 UEFA European Under-17 Championship final tournament.

The 2016/17 UEFA European Women's Under-19 Championship final tournament was awarded to Northern Ireland, while Switzerland will host the 2017/18 UEFA European Women's Under-19 Championship final tournament.

The Czech Republic was awarded the 2016/17 UEFA European Women's Under-17 Championship final tournament while the 2017/18 UEFA European Women's Under-17 Championship final tournament goes to Lithuania.

The UEFA Executive Committee also received what it described as a “positive update” on the preparations for UEFA EURO 2016, which begins 500 days from now.

UEFA EURO 2016 takes place in ten venues across France between 10 June and 10 July 2016.
