The 2017 Women's Euro Winners Cup was the second edition of Women's Euro Winners Cup, an annual continental beach soccer tournament for top European women's clubs. Organised by Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW), the championship is the sport's version of the UEFA Women's Champions League in association football.[1]
Held in Nazaré, Portugal, from 30 May to 4 June 2017 in tandem with the men's edition,[2] the event started 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. Consolation matches were also played to determine other final rankings.
Swiss club Grasshoppers were the defending champions, but failed to qualify. The tournament was won by Swiss team Havana Shots Aargau who beat England's Portsmouth in the final to win their first European title.[3]
Russians WFC Zvezda were the only team to finish in the top four again having done so in the previous year's first edition.
20 teams entered the tournament (an increase from 12 in the inaugural edition) – the top-level domestic beach soccer league/championship champions plus, for some countries, other top non-champions clubs from the nation indicated.[4]

1. Withdrew after the draw
The draw to split the 20 teams into five groups of four took place on 4 April in the host city of Nazaré, Portugal alongside the men's competition draw.[5]
As the club representing the host association of Portugal, AF Leiria were assigned to Group A. Four other teams were seeded (Beachkick Ladies Berlin, Havana Shots Aargau, WFC Neva, Terracina Ladies) and each assigned to one the remaining groups. The teams were seeded because their national association's club finished in the top four in the previous edition in 2016.[6]
Clubs from the same country could not be drawn into the same group.[6]
Matches took place at the Estádio do Viveiro, on one of three pitches as stated.

The three best runners-up advanced to knockout stage. The ranking of the five runners-up was determined on goal average.[7] Since Group E consisted of three teams, for the runners-up from the other groups (A, B, C, D), their results against the teams finishing in fourth place in their group were discounted for this ranking.

The losers receded to play in consolation matches to determine 5th through 8th place in the final standings.
