Overall team records (total)
In this ranking 3 points are awarded for a win in normal time, 2 points for a win in extra time, 1 point is awarded for a win in penalty shoot-out and 0 for a loss. Teams are ranked by total points, then by goal difference, then by goals scored.
The following table shows the overall statistics of all 21 world cups, combining the results of both the Beach Soccer World Cup era and the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup era.[citation needed]
Notes:
- FIFA issued changes to the rules of beach soccer in July 2014 meaning teams now earn 1 point for a penalty shootout win;[1] teams were awarded 2 points for a shootout win prior to July 2014. For the purpose of this table, the calculation of points earned goes by the current rules meaning that penalty shootout wins that occurred both after and before the 2014 rule change have been counted as just 1 point in the "Pts" column.

Notes
- ^ At the 2021 edition, in accordance with a ban by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and a decision by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), the team from Russia was not permitted to use the Russian name, flag, or anthem; it participated in the World Cup as "the team of the Russian Football Union (RFU)", and used the flag of the Russian Olympic Committee.[18] For the purpose of continuity in this article, the results of the RFU team in 2021 are considered as de facto results of the Russian national team.
