A; B; C; D; E; F; G; H; I.The 2024 Euro Winners Cup was the twelfth edition of the Euro Winners Cup (EWC), an annual continental beach soccer tournament for men's top-division European clubs. The championship is widely viewed as beach soccer's rudimentary version of the better known UEFA Champions League in its parent sport, association football.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
Organised by Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW), the tournament was held in Nazaré, Portugal, from 7 to 16 June.[8][9]
Following a preliminary qualification round, 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 16 and ending with the final. Consolation matches were also played to determine other final rankings.
Kfar Qassem of Israel were the defending champions,[10] but were eliminated in the quarterfinals, ultimately placing fifth. Braga of Portugal won the tournament, claiming their fourth European crown;[11] they defeated Pisa of Italy in the final, condemning the Tuscans to a consecutive runners-up finish.[12]
