2010 Euro Beach Soccer League

The 2010 Euro Beach Soccer League (EBSL) was an annual European competition in beach soccer. The competitions allows national teams to compete in beach soccer in a league format over the summer months. Each season ends with a superfinal, deciding the competition winner.

There were seven teams participating in two divisions in each Stage that faced each other in a round-robin system, with the exception of Stage 4. The top five teams of Division A (including the individual Stage winners) plus the host team Portugal played in the Superfinal in Vila Real de Santo António (Portugal) from August 26–29. The individual Stage winners in Division B plus the worst team in Division A played in the Promotional Final to try to earn promotion to Division A.

Division B (Bibione, Italy) – 16–17 July 

The games were played on 16 and 17 July 2010 in Bibione, Italy. Turkey won and qualified for the Promotional Final.

Andorra were originally supposed to compete in stage 4 as part of a regular three-team Division B event, but withdrew. In order to ensure the remaining participants (Turkey and Norway) still played two matches as organised, despite Andorra's absence, BSWW simply changed the fixture schedule to have Turkey and Norway play each other twice.

Since both teams were competing in Bibione as part of the 2011 World Cup qualifiers, BSWW staged the games there rather than unnecessarily having the squads travel to the Hague (as was originally planned) merely a week later.
