In the final of the prestigious continental tournament, the "blue and yellows" defeated the hosts of the tournament β€” the Italian national team. Official confirmation of the triumph appeared on the F7 Europe tournament page, while details of the success of Ukrainian footballers are provided by Sport RBC.UA. ### A Perfect Path to Gold The national team's path to the main trophy turned out to be practically flawless. In the group stage, the Ukrainians demonstrated power and ruthlessness, crushing opponents from Romania and Greece with the same score of 8:0. Even in the first meeting with the future final opponent β€” Italy β€” the Ukrainians left no chance for the hosts, winning with a score of 5:3. In the semi-finals, the team continued its winning streak, confidently beating the Austrian national team with a score of 11:3. In the decisive match of the tournament, the Ukrainians met the Italians again and achieved a convincing victory with a score of 3:1, securing for themselves the title of the best team on the continent. ### Statistics of Triumph The results of the tournament speak for themselves: the Ukrainian national team finished the European Championship without a single defeat. In five matches played, the team scored 35 goals, conceding only seven. This result became the best indicator in the tournament and allowed Ukrainian footballers to deserveably rise to the top of the podium. ### About the Tournament and Format The 7x7 Football European Championship is held every two years under the auspices of the European Minifootball Federation (EMF). This is the most prestigious international competition for national teams in this format. In the final stage of Euro 2026, 24 national teams participated, which after the group stage fought for the title in playoff matches. It is important to note that 7x7 football is not part of the UEFA or FIFA tournament system. This is a separate variety of minifootball with its own international federations and calendar. Despite this, Ukraine traditionally ranks among the strongest national teams on the continent and regularly fights for medals in major tournaments.
