Abstract. Different studies propose that emotional intelligence in athletes is related to sports performance. Thus, sports performance is affected when athletes experience negative emotions (i.e. anxiety) that does not manage adequately. However, more studies are needed to analyze these relationships along with every sports level. This study aimed to analyze the differences between emotional intelligence and state and trait anxiety of futsal players according to their sports level. The sample was 48 futsal players from every junior category that answered TMMS-24 and STAI questionnaires. The results showed significant differences between emotional attention, trait and state anxiety on the different sports level. Moreover, the levels of trait anxiety were related to every emotional intelligence dimensions. State anxiety had a relationship with emotional attention.
