Beach Soccer Intercontinental Cup 2022 was the 11th edition of the Beach Soccer Intercontinental Cup, an annual international beach soccer tournament contested by men's national teams.[1] This year's event occurred between 1 and 6 November 2022 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.[2] The tournament is organised by the Dubai Sports Council (DSC) and Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW).[3]
The Intercontinental Cup is typically seen as the biggest tournament in the current international beach soccer calendar after the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.[3] Similar in nature to that of the FIFA Confederations Cup,[4] eight nations took part.
The tournament starts with a round robin group stage. The winners and runners-up from each group advance to the knockout stage, a series of single-elimination matches, beginning with the semi-finals and ending with the final. Consolation matches are also played to determine other final rankings.
The season-ending Beach Soccer Stars awards are also presented in Dubai as a conclusion to the tournament.[5]
Russia is defending champions but they were absent in this event.
