The draws will determine the groups for the two tournaments, each featuring eight teams from across the world, as Senegal gears up to host the first-ever Olympic sporting event to be staged on African soil.

The Youth Olympic Futsal Tournaments Dakar 2026 will take place across two venues in Senegal – the Dakar Arena in Diamniadio and the Iba Mar Diop Complex in Dakar.
