The German national futsal team represents the whole country. The German football association decided the foundation of a national team on 4 December 2015 within the context of a so-called "Futsal Masterplan" in order to participate in the qualification for the UEFA Futsal Euro 2018. Germany played their first international match at Hamburg's 2,092-capacity Inselpark on 30 October 2016 in a friendly against England, which ended in a 5-3 victory. Germany then played the qualification for the UEFA Futsal Euro 2018 but were eliminated in the Preliminary Round, finishing in third place in their qualifying group C with four points, above Estonia and behind group winners Latvia and Armenia.
