# 2010 CPISRA Football 7-a-side European Championships

The 2010 CPISRA Football 7-a-side European Championships was the European championship for men's national 7-a-side association football teams.

## Format

The first round, or group stage, was a competition between the 10 teams divided among two groups of five, where each group engaged in a round-robin tournament within itself. The two highest ranked teams in each group advanced to the knockout stage for the position one to four. The next two teams played for the position five to eight. The last teams played for the position nine to ten. Teams were awarded three points for a win and one for a draw. When comparing teams in a group over-all result came before head-to-head.
