It was held in June 2016, in Belgrade, Serbia, the first time the country has hosted and played in a BSWW sanctioned event.

The competition reverted to being a straight knock-out tournament instead of involving a group stage first as in the previous edition in 2014, with classifying matches to determine the final standings of those who didn't reach the final.

Spain were the defending champions, accepting the invitation to play, but lost in the quarter-finals, ultimately finishing seventh.

Portugal won the championship, claiming their seventh crown, their first in 10 years.

The losers progressed into a series of classifying matches to determine the standings of fifth down to eighth place.
