MY BEACH SOCCER 
Wednesday sees two draws take place for the Euro Winners Cup 2016 in Catania, which begins later this month.
Both the men’s and women’s draws for the Euro Winners Cup 2016 in Catania will take place in Sicily on Wednesday as all sides competing await their fate.
The Euro Winners Cup will, for the first time, include a women’s competition, while the entire draw will be streamed live via www.beachsoccer.com for fans around the world.
In total 48 teams – 32 male and 16 female – will take part as Catania once again cements its place as a key location in the beach soccer calendar.
There are a number of caveats to both draws and, starting with the men’s competition, the host team DomusBet Catania BS are seeded to recieve the A1 berth.
The teams will compete in eight groups of four and defending champions BSC Kristall will be drawn into the B1 spot while fellow Russian outfit Kryla Sovetov take C1.
Terracina BS, Artur Music, Lokomotiv BS, SC Braga and ESC Gyongyos have been assigned D1 TO H1 respectively.
The remaining 24 teams will be placed into the Team Pot and assigned group placings starting with A2 and proceeding to H4.
Two clubs from the same country can not be drawn together in the same group. Should this happen, the team drawn will be moved to the following group and the next team out handed their previous place.
That rule also applies to the women’s draw although only hosts DomusBet Catania BS are pre-assigned their group position of A1.
ASD Lady Terracina BS, BeachKick Ladies Berlin, Catanzaro BS, DTS’ 35, Grasshopper Club Zurich, HTC Zwolle, Nomme Kalju, Portsmouth Ladies BS, Sogesport Club Esportiu, UKS Sparta Daleszyce and WFC Zvezda will go into the team pot and take places B1 to C4.
The Euro Winners Cup runs from the 23rd to 29th May with all the fixture details and build-up available at www.beachsoccer.com.
