The 2015 CAF Beach Soccer Championship, also known as the 2015 Africa Beach Soccer Cup of Nations,[1][2] was a beach soccer tournament which took place in Roche Caiman, Seychelles on 14–19 April 2015.[3] This was the first time that the CAF Beach Soccer Championship was held in Seychelles. All matches were played at the Roche Caiman Sports Complex.

As well as crowning the best beach soccer nation in Africa, the tournament served as the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup qualifier for teams from Africa which are members of CAF, where the top two teams qualified for the 2015 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in Portugal.[4] In the final, Madagascar defeated Senegal to be crowned champions, and both teams qualified for the 2015 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.[5]
