# 2023 Women's Euro Winners Cup

The 2023 Women's Euro Winners Cup was the eighth edition of the Women's Euro Winners Cup (WEWC), an annual continental beach soccer tournament for women's top-division European clubs. The championship is viewed as beach soccer's rudimentary version of the UEFA Women's Champions League in its parent sport, association football.
Organised by Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW), the tournament was held in Nazaré, Portugal, in tandem with the larger men's edition, from 12 to 18 June.
The event began with a round robin group stage. At its conclusion, the best teams progressed to the knockout stage, a series of single elimination games to determine the winners, starting with the quarter-finals and ending with the final. Consolation matches were also played to determine other final rankings.
Bonaire Terrassa of Spain were the defending champions, but failed to defend their title, falling at the semi-finals and finishing in third place. It was won by Higicontrol Melilla of Spain, who won their first title.

## Teams

20 clubs from eight different nations entered the event.
In accordance with sanctions imposed by FIFA and UEFA in 2022 in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, clubs from Russia remained banned from participation.
