Two teams were considered to be the favorites of the competition: the College of Luhansk Taras Shevchenko National University and the combined team of the Institute of Physical Education and Sports and the Institute of Pedagogy and Psychology.

Dmytro Zinchenko (IPP) significantly strengthened the last team. The players of the favorite teams played in one team during the winter – the combined university team at the winter futsal championship of Starobilsk. Therefore, the preparation of these teams was much better.

As games in groups showed, these teams outplayed their rivals confidently and took first places in the groups. Other teams demonstrated a good game, but due to lack of time for training in the hall, the teams did not show the game that they owned in the autumn championship.

These teams took second place in the groups and went to the final four.
