The 2017 Women’s Euro Beach Soccer Cup was the second edition of the Women's Euro Beach Soccer Cup, an international, European beach soccer championship for women's national teams, organised annually by Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW). The event was revealed on April 21, 2017.[1]
Six nations took part in a three day competition hosted in Nazaré, Portugal, between 7 and 9 July, alongside stage 2 of the men's 2017 Euro Beach Soccer League.[2] Originally scheduled to take place in Sanxenxo, Spain,[3] BSWW announced on June 1 the competition would be moved to Nazaré due to administrative issues.[4]
Spain were the defending champions but failed to progress pass the group stage, ultimately finishing in fifth. The tournament was won by England, who claimed their maiden European crown.[5] This was the first time an English side won a major beach soccer trophy in either a women's or a men's championship.
Teams
[edit]All six teams from the inaugural edition returned, except for hosts Portugal, who were replaced by the Czech Republic.

Spain, as champions of the previous edition in 2016, were allocated to position A1 and Switzerland, as runners up in 2016, were allocated to B1. The other nations were then drawn to accompany them in the two groups.[2]
