The 2016 Women's Euro Winners Cup was the first edition of Women's Euro Winners Cup, an annual continental beach soccer tournament for top European women's clubs. Organised by Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW), [1] the championship is the sport's version of the UEFA Women's Champions League in association football. [2]

Contents

Held in Catania, Italy from 24 to 29 May 2016 in tandem with the men's edition, [1] the event started 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. Consolation matches were also played to determine other final rankings.

The tournament was won by Swiss team Grasshoppers who beat Germany's BeachKick Ladies Berlin in the final to win their first European title. [3]

Participating teams

12 teams entered the inaugural tournament from nine countries – the top-level domestic beach soccer league/championship champions plus, for some countries, other top non-champions clubs from the nation indicated.
