The 2024 Women's Euro Winners Cup was the ninth 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 viewed as beach soccer's rudimentary version of the UEFA Women's Champions League in its parent sport, association football.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Organised by Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW), the tournament was held in Nazaré, Portugal, in tandem with the larger men's edition, from 10 to 16 June.[7][8]
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.
Higicontrol Melilla of Spain were the defending champions[9] and successfully retained the title,[10] becoming the first club to win consecutive titles.
24 clubs from ten different nations enter the event.[11]
In accordance with sanctions imposed by FIFA and UEFA in 2022 in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine,[12][13][14][15] clubs from Russia remain banned from entering this year.
