Futsal in Germany


The German futsal league system is divided into divisions, with the highest division being the Futsal-Regionalliga. In each division, a team plays all other teams twice, once at home and once away. The winners of each Futsal-Regionalliga and the runners-up have the chance to compete in the DFB Futsal Cup, which is an annual tournament of 10 teams to determine the German futsal champion and the country's participant in the UEFA Futsal Cup.

Futsal development in Germany is governed and supported by the German Football Association and it is going forward in record time, with some saying that Germany is a sleeping giant in that sport. The first German side to qualify for the UEFA Futsal Cup was UFC Muenster in the 2006-07 season, but they were eliminated in the Preliminary Round with two draws and one loss. Muenster also were the first German side to win a game in that competition with a 3-1 victory over Estonian champions Betoon Tallinn in the 2008-09 season. Four-time German futsal champions Hamburg Panthers were the first German team to reach the Main Round in the 2013-14 season, where they lost all three group games, and the first side to advance to the Elite Round in the 2016-17 season to become one of the 16 best teams in Europe. TV Wackersdorf were the first German team to participate in the Mitropa Futsal Cup in the 2016-17 season, and finished in fourth place with one draw and two losses. In the course of time, Germany has climbed to 29th position in the UEFA coefficient rankings with now 2,084 points.
