The 2026 Americas Winners Cup will be staged in the coastal province of Puntarenas, Costa Rica, from 13 to 19 December. The tournament, organized by Beach Soccer Worldwide in partnership with local authorities, will gather the continent’s most prestigious beach soccer clubs for a week of high‑octane competition.
A Milestone for Costa Rican Beach Soccer
Joan Cuscó, president of Beach Soccer Worldwide, praised Costa Rica’s growing passion for the sport, noting that the country’s beaches and infrastructure make it an ideal host. Stewart Gómez, president of the Liga Costarricense de Fútbol Playa, echoed the sentiment, emphasizing the event’s role in nurturing future talent.
The competition will feature the best clubs from across the Americas, including defending champions Sportivo Luqueño from Paraguay, who captured the men’s title in 2025, and Brazil’s São Pedro, the reigning women’s three‑time champion. Organizers expect a vibrant mix of styles and strategies as teams vie for the coveted trophy.
Clubs interested in participating can submit their applications via email to [email protected], with details on registration and logistics to follow. The event’s schedule will include group stages, knockout rounds, and a final match that promises to crown new champions in both divisions.
Beyond the on‑field action, the tournament aims to boost the development of beach soccer throughout the region, offering workshops, youth clinics, and networking opportunities for coaches, officials, and fans alike. As the sport continues to expand, the Americas Winners Cup stands as a key catalyst for its growth.
