SEEU Team 7th in the European Championship in Futsal

This year's 6th European Championship in Futsal took place in Podgorica, Montenegro from 20 - 26 July with 16 University teams from 15 European countries participating. One of these was the SEEU futsal team, who managed to reach the 1/8 finals, finally taking 7th place. Players scored an average of 7 goals per match and received an average of 2 cards per game. There was only one red card which meant that the real winner of the tournament was the idea of 'fair play'.

The SEEU team showed their quality by winning against teams with greater experience and despite the fact that their players were amongst the youngest in the championship. After a magnificent final match against Sumy State University (UKR), the team from the University of Malaga (ESP) took the gold medal, with the University of Zagreb (CRO) in third place.

The organizers from the University Sports Association from Montenegro also provided a great trip to the Montenegrin beach for all participants and presented a regional cultural programme.

Final Positions:
  • University of Malaga (ESP)
  • Sumy State University (UKR)
  • University of Zagreb (CRO)
  • University of Coimbra (POR)
  • University of Montenegro (MNE)
  • University of Rzeszow (POL)
