The 2024 Women's Euro Winners Cup will be 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 will be held in Nazaré, Portugal, in tandem with the larger men's edition, from 10 to 16 June.[7][8]

The event begins with a round robin group stage. At its conclusion, the best teams progress to the knockout stage, a series of single elimination games to determine the winners.

Higicontrol Melilla of Spain are the defending champions.[9]

Teams[edit]

24 clubs from ten different nations enter the event.[10]

In accordance with sanctions imposed by FIFA and UEFA in 2022 in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine,[11][12][13][14] clubs from Russia remain banned from entering this year.
