# 2022 Women's Euro Beach Soccer League

The 2022 Women's Euro Beach Soccer League was the second edition of the Women's Euro Beach Soccer League (WEBSL). It is the annual, premier competition in European beach soccer contested between women's national teams, succeeding the Women's Euro Beach Soccer Cup (2016–19). Organised by Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW), it is the women's version of the men's long-running Euro Beach Soccer League, which began in 1998.
The league consisted of two phases: two rounds of fixtures comprising the regular season, and the Superfinal, in which the top four teams qualified to then directly contest the league title, with the winners becoming WEBSL champions.
The league also acted as the qualification route to the 2023 European Games; the top five teams qualified to join hosts Poland.
Russia were defending champions, but were banned from entering the competition this year. The competition was won by Spain for the first time who claimed their second European crown following the 2016 Women's Euro Beach Soccer Cup.

## Teams
