The 2023 Women's Euro Beach Soccer League was the third edition of the Women's Euro Beach Soccer League (WEBSL). 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.
Originally, regular season fixtures were scheduled for July in the midst of a busy European calendar (including the European Games in June and World Beach Games in August).[1][2] However, the men's UEFA qualifiers for the 2023 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup were ultimately realised during these dates in July instead; the WEBSL regular season was not rescheduled. Hence, this season, all teams entered straight into the Superfinal, to compete to become the winners of the WEBSL; the event took place in Alghero, Italy.[3]
Spain were the defending champions and successfully defended their title, defeating Portugal in the final.
Teams
[edit]Nine teams entered this season.[a][4][5][6]
The numbers in parentheses show the European ranking of each team prior to the start of the season, out of 12 nations.[7]
