Futsal squad face trip to Macedonia in UEFA competition

UEFA Futsal Euro 2012
20-24 January 2011
Macedonia

England will face opposition from Macedonia, Georgia and Estonia in the Preliminary Round of the UEFA Futsal Euro 2012 competition.

The draw was made at UEFA's headquarters in Nyon on Friday afternoon and Peter Sturgess' team were drawn out in Group C, with Macedonia hosting the mini-tournament.

A record 42 teams are competing for just 11 places in the Finals, which take place in Croatia in early 2012. 18 of those sides were given a bye to the Qualifying Round, including current holders Spain.

In order to progress to that stage, England will have to finish top of their group when the games take place in January 2011.

Should England progress into the Qualifying Round, they will head to Poland where they will play the hosts, Portugal and Belarus next February.
