Locations of the regular season event and the Superfinal of the
2021 Women's Euro Beach Soccer League in Portugal.
The 2021 Women's Euro Beach Soccer League was the first edition of the Women's Euro Beach Soccer League (WEBSL).[1] It is the annual, premier competition in European beach soccer contested between women's national teams, succeeding the Women's Euro Beach Soccer Cup (2016–19). Organised by Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW), it is the women's version of the men's long-running Euro Beach Soccer League, which began in 1998.
The league consisted of two phases: a single round of fixtures comprising the regular season, which determined the seedings for the post-season event, the Superfinal, in which the teams then directly contested the league title, with the winners becoming WEBSL champions; both events took place in Portugal.[1]
Russia were defending European champions, having won the final edition of the Women's Euro Beach Soccer Cup in 2019, and successfully retained their European crown by winning the league title, beating England 8–2 in the final.[2]
Teams
Eight teams took part in the inaugural season.[3][4] Portugal entered straight into the Superfinal as hosts.
The numbers in parentheses show the European ranking of each team prior to the start of the season, out of 9 nations.[5]
Regular season (Nazaré, 17–20 June)
Matches are listed as local time in Nazaré, WEST (UTC+1)
The matches took place at one of two venues on Praia de Nazaré (Nazaré Beach): One seated arena, the Estádio do Viveiro (Viveiro Stadium), and one purpose made pitch, located adjacent to the main stadium, simply known as Pitch 2. Due to COVID-19 concerns, the matches were played behind closed doors.[6]
All teams qualified for the Superfinal; the final standings of the regular season event were used to determine the seedings for the Superfinal.[7]
