The 2021 Women's Euro Winners Cup was the sixth edition of the Women's Euro Winners Cup (WEWC), an annual continental beach soccer tournament for women's top-division European clubs. The championship is the sport's version of the UEFA Women's Champions League in association football. [1]

Contents

Organised by Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW), the tournament was held in Nazaré, Portugal, in tandem with the larger men's edition, 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 semi-finals and ending with the final. Consolation matches were also played to determine other final rankings.

Mriya 2006 of Ukraine were the defending champions, but were eliminated at the group stage. The title was won by Madrid CFF, who claimed their first title in their second appearance in the final. [3]

Teams

Qualification

Usually, to enter, a club needed to be the champions of their country's most recent national championship. If a national association wished to enter more than one club, they can request for permission to do so from the organisers BSWW who would grant or reject the clubs a berth at the tournament depending on the total number of teams already registered. [4]

But as like last year, due to the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the competition, the normal rules regarding qualification were abandoned; entry restrictions were relaxed: the event was opened up to simply any European club that wished to participate. [5]

Entrants

18 clubs from eight different nations entered the event. [2]
