2024 Women's Euro Winners Cup

The Women's Euro Winners Cup (WEWC) is an annual continental beach soccer club competition contested between top-division European women's teams; the clubs that are their country's national league/cup champions (and, for some nations, one or more runners-up) from countries all across Europe take part. Organised by Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW), 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]

Offering the strongest level of club competition in Europe, it is the most prestigious women's club beach soccer championship in Europe; the winners become continental champions.[4][5] The first edition took place in 2016, following the founding of the men's edition three years prior.[1] It takes place within the framework of the larger men's version of the tournament, happening during the same dates and location over the course of about a week.

Higicontrol Melilla of Spain are the most successful club with two titles and are also the current champions.
