The 2017 Euro Winners Cup was the fifth edition of Euro Winners Cup, an annual continental beach soccer tournament for top men's European clubs, similar to that of the UEFA Champions League, organised by Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW).
[1] Italian team Viareggio BS were the defending champions but lost in the Round of 16 to Ukrainian side Artur Music.
Artur Music ultimately went on to lose in the final to Portuguese team SC Braga who claimed their first European title.
28 teams are qualified directly for the main round, including Viarregio (the 2016 trophy holders), ACD Sótão (as host team), SC Braga (as runner-up of host nation) and 25 national champions (note, BS Lazio clinching the berth of Italy national champions since Viarregio is also a European champion).
Seven group winners and one best-ranked runner-up (BSC Artur Music) advanced to the main round.
