The 2014 CPISRA Football 7-a-side European Championships was the European championship for men's national 7-a-side association football teams. CPISRA stands for Cerebral Palsy International Sports & Recreation Association. Athletes with a physical disability competed. The Championship took place in Portugal from 23 July to 2 August 2014.[1]
Football 7-a-side was played with modified FIFA rules. Among the modifications were that there were seven players, no offside, a smaller playing field, and permission for one-handed throw-ins. Matches consisted of two thirty-minute halves, with a fifteen-minute half-time break. The Championships was a qualifying event for the 2015 IFCPF CP Football World Championships.

able of third-placed teams from each group
To compare the third-placed teams, only the games counted against the first-placed and second placed team, because in group C were only three teams. In this table, the two best teams rose to the quarter-finals, the third-placed nation must play the games at the 9th to 11th place.
Thus was laid on 25 July that the teams from Northern Ireland and Portugal were promoted to the quarter-finals, the team from Finland had to play for the 9th to 11th place.
