The 2025 Women's Euro Winners Cup was the tenth 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.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

Organised by Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW), the tournament was held in Nazaré, Portugal, in tandem with the larger men's edition, from 9 to 15 June.[7]

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 Round of 16 and ending with the final. Consolation matches were also played to determine other final rankings.

Higicontrol Melilla of Spain were the two-time defending champions and successfully retained the title.

Teams

23 clubs from 11 different nations entered the event.[8]

In accordance with sanctions imposed by FIFA and UEFA in 2022 in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine,[9][10][11][12] clubs from Russia remain banned from entering this year.

Group stage

All group winners and runners-up, along with the four best third-placed teams, progress to the round of 16.

The two worst third-placed teams and four best fourth placed teams are consigned to a set of consolation matches to determine final placements.

The worst fourth placed team plays no further part in the competition and automatically finishes in 23rd place.

Group D comprises just three teams. Therefore, to ensure fairness when comparing third-placed teams across all groups, the results of the third-placed teams in the four-team groups against their fourth-placed opponents are not considered when determining the "best" third-placed teams advancing to the next round.
