The 2021 Euro Winners Cup was the ninth edition of the Euro Winners Cup (EWC), an annual continental beach soccer tournament for men's top-division European clubs. The championship is the sport's version of the better known UEFA Champions League in association football.[1]
Organised by Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW), the tournament was held in Nazaré, Portugal from 12–18 July.[2]
The event began with a round robin group stage. At its conclusion, the best teams progressed to the knockout stage, a series of single elimination games to determine the winners, starting with the Round of 32 and ending with the final. Consolation matches were also played to determine other final rankings.
Kristall of Russia were the defending champions and successfully defended their title, defeating Braga in the final in what was a repeat of the concluding match of the last edition. This moved Kristall clear of Braga in terms of the most titles won, with four.[3]
Teams[edit]
Qualification[edit]
Usually, to enter automatically, a club needed to be the champions of their country's most recent national championship (and for Europe's strongest leagues, the runners-up and third placed clubs can also enter). Any club that didn't meet these requirement was entitled to enter the accompanying Euro Winners Challenge (preliminary round) to take place in the days prior to the competition proper, as a last opportunity to qualify for the EWC main round.[4]
But as with the previous year, due to the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the competition, the normal rules regarding qualification were abandoned. The Euro Winners Challenge (preliminary round) did not take place; entry restrictions were relaxed: the event was opened up to simply any European club that wished to participate. All clubs entered straight into the group stage.[5]
Entrants[edit]
50 clubs from 16 different nations entered the event.[2]
