The 2018 Women's Euro Beach Soccer Cup was the third edition of the Women's Euro Beach Soccer Cup, an annual European beach soccer championship for women's national teams, organised by Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW). The event was revealed on 28 March 2018.[1] Six nations took part in a three-day competition, hosted in the same location as the 2017 edition, Nazaré, Portugal, between 6 and 8 July, alongside stage 2 of the men's 2018 Euro Beach Soccer League.[2] England were the defending champions, but failed to progress pass the group stage, ultimately finishing in fourth place. The championship was claimed by Russia, who won the title at their first attempt.[3]

Teams

All six teams from the previous edition returned, except for Greece, who were replaced by Russia.

Venue


Praia de Nazaré (Nazaré Beach) is the host location of the competition for the second year running.
Location of Nazaré
in Portugal.

All matches took place at the Estádio do Viveiro on Praia de Nazaré (Nazaré Beach). The stadium had recently been undergoing redevelopment, increasing its capacity from 1,600 to 2,200.[4] However, one part of the stadium was still awaiting upgrades,[5] meaning the new capacity figure was yet to be fully reached.

Draw

The draw took place on June 12, 2018, at BSWW's headquarters in Barcelona. The six teams were split into two groups of three.[2] Two teams were seeded and automatically allocated to the groups: England, as reigning champions, were allocated to position A1 and Switzerland, as runners up in the last edition, were allocated to B1. The unseeded nations were then drawn to accompany them in the two groups, with placement of the nations alternating back and forth between Groups A and B as each team was drawn out in turn.[6]
