The 2019 Euro Winners Cup was the seventh edition of the Euro Winners Cup (EWC), an annual continental beach soccer tournament for men's top-division European clubs. The championship is the sport's version of the better known UEFA Champions League in association football.[1]

Organised by Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW), the tournament was held in Nazaré, Portugal from 30 May till 9 June 2019, consisting of a preliminary qualifying round and the competition proper.[2]

Following the qualifying round, the competition proper 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.

Braga of Portugal were the defending champions[3] and successfully defended their title after beating KP Łódź of Poland 6–0 in the final.[4]

Teams

A record 60 teams from 24 countries entered the championship; 36 qualified straight into the main round[5] whilst 24 competed in the Euro Winners Challenge to attempt to qualify for the competition proper.[6]
