The fourth UEFA Futsal Championship, played in 2005 in the Czech Republic, was the fifth edition of the national football team tournament organized by UEFA, an organisation that manages this sport in Europe.

The venue for the event was Ostrava. The eight teams were divided into two groups from which the four semifinalists came out. In group A, two compañeros from the East, Ukraine and Russia were fighting, with the first who won it after the victory in the decisive third race of the group; in group B, the defending champions of Italy won full score the group putting in line the Spain world champion, Portugal and Hungary. The semifinals subverted the values seen during the qualifying rounds: Spain and Russia, second ranked in their grouping, eliminated the winners of the two rounds and landed in the final, where the Iberians triumphed, putting their third European laurel in the box.
