Overview

Event Summary

The brand-new Women's Euro Beach Soccer League Superfinal will land in Figueira da Foz (Portugal) to decide the champions of Europe in the final stage of the event. The seven teams (Czech Republic, England, Netherlands, Russia, Spain, Switzerland and Ukraine) will first meet in the regular stage in Nazaré in June, and the champions of the maiden edition of the league will be decided in September at the Superfinal. Ukraine may be competing in their first ever European championship, but the squad is composed of many of the Mryia 2006 players who lifted the 2020 Euro Winners Cup on their debut appearance. This could mean that they are real contenders to try and dethrone Russia, who won the European championship (formerly Women’s Euro Beach Soccer Cup) in 2019. Russia also claimed the title the year before in 2018, while the only two previous winners of the continental crown are England (2017) and Spain (2016). England have moved above group rivals Russia in the Official World Rankings and will be eyeing a return to the top, while Spain, who took gold medals at the ANOC World Beach Games in Qatar in 2019, are currently ranked as the best team in the world. Picking a clear winner here is almost impossible, so get ready for some high-intensity beach soccer!
