# 2017 Euro Winners Cup

The 2017 Euro Winners Cup was the fifth edition of Euro Winners Cup, an annual continental beach soccer tournament for top men's European clubs, similar to that of the UEFA Champions League, organised by Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW). The 2017 tournament was held in Nazaré, Portugal, from 26 May till 4 June 2017.
Italian team Viareggio BS were the defending champions but lost in the Round of 16 to Ukrainian side Artur Music.
Artur Music ultimately went on to lose in the final to Portuguese team SC Braga who claimed their first European title.
Gabriele Gori was top scorer for the second year running, following up his top scorer award at the World Cup just a few weeks prior.

## Participating teams

25 nations represented by a record of 54 clubs participated in the tournament. 28 teams are qualified directly for the main round, including Viarregio (the 2016 trophy holders), ACD Sótão (as host team), SC Braga (as runner-up of host nation) and 25 national champions (note, BS Lazio clinching the berth of Italy national champions since Viarregio is also a European champion). The preliminary round was disputed by all the remaining teams that sign in (26 teams). At first four more teams sign in, but didn't take part in competition.
