The2025 Euro Winners Cup was the thirteenth edition of theEuro Winners Cup (EWC), an annual continentalbeach soccer tournament for men's top-division European clubs. The championship is widely viewed as beach soccer's rudimentary version of the better knownUEFA Champions League in its parent sport,association football .[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4] [ 5] [ 6] [ 7] [ 8]
Organised byBeach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW), the tournament was held inNazaré ,Portugal , from 8 to 15 June.[ 9]
The event began with around robin group stage. At its conclusion, the best teams progressed to the knockout stage, a series ofsingle elimination games to determine the winners, starting with the Round of 16 and ending with the final.Consolation matches were also played to determine other final rankings.
Braga were the defending champions but did not enter this year due to the club's activities being put on indefinite hiatus in October 2024.[ 10] [ 11]
Qualification for the competition is similar to theUEFA Champions League , whereby clubs qualify via their country’s national beach soccer league (being a country which is amember association of UEFA ).
The exact number of clubs which qualify from each association depends on the perceived "strength" of their country’s league. BSWW determine the strength of each league by analysing the performance of all clubs in the EWC on a country-by-country basis over the previous five editions; a points-based ranking is produced from the data. From the most recent edition of their respective leagues, the best performing nations in the ranking are permitted to enter multiple top placing clubs (being their league champions and one or more runners-up), whilst the worst performing are allowed to enter just one club (being their league champions).[ 12] [ 13] UEFA coefficient ranking .
Eligible clubs may choose not to, or are unable to participate. Thus, in reality, some countries fill their quota with clubs placed lower down in their league, don’t claim all their slots, sometimes fill none of their slots at all, and sometimes unclaimed slots are transferred to other associations at the discretion of BSWW.
36 clubs from 24 different nations enter the event.[ 14]
In accordance with sanctions imposed byFIFA andUEFA in 2022 in response to theRussian invasion of Ukraine ,[ 15] [ 16] [ 17] [ 18]
