International football competition
The 2019 Beach Soccer Intercontinental Cup was the ninth edition of the Beach Soccer Intercontinental Cup, an annual international beach soccer tournament contested by men's national teams. Held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates since its inception, this year's event occurs between 5 and 9 November.[1] The tournament was organised by the Dubai Sports Council (DSC) and Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW).[2] Unlike in previous editions, there was no lead sponsor this year.
The Intercontinental Cup is typically seen as the biggest tournament in the current international beach soccer calendar after the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.[2] Similar in nature to that of the FIFA Confederations Cup,[3] eight nations took part.
The tournament started with a round robin group stage. The winners and runners-up from each group advanced to the knockout stage, a series of single-elimination matches, beginning with the semi-finals and ending with the final. Consolation matches were also played to determine other final rankings.
The season-ending Beach Soccer Stars awards were also presented in Dubai as a conclusion to the tournament.[4]
Iran were the defending champions and successfully retained their title, winning a third Intercontinental Cup crown by beating Spain 6–3 in the final.[5] Hosts UAE matched their best previous performance of third place for the first time since 2013.[6]
