# 2017 Mundialito de Clubes

The 2017 Mundialito de Clubes was the fifth edition of the Mundialito de Clubes (Club World Cup in English), a biennial international club beach soccer competition contested between top men's clubs from across the world (existing clubs and teams specially assembled for the event). The tournament is loosely similar to the FIFA Club World Cup in association football. However, participating teams are not regional champions, entering via invitation.
Organised by Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW) and other local entities in Brazil, the competition took place in Vargem Grande Paulista, São Paulo State, Brazil between December 14 and 17, featuring eight clubs.
Barcelona were the incumbent champions but did not enter a team this year. The tournament was won by Lokomotiv Moscow who became the first team to win two Mundialito de Clubes titles, beating Iranian club Pars Jonoubi 5–4 in the final.

## Teams

Eight invited clubs entered the competition, representing six different nations and three continents. Africa, North America and Oceania are unrepresented.
