Organised by Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW), the tournament was held in Nazaré, Portugal from 9–18 June.

Following a preliminary qualification round, the event began with a round robin group stage. At its conclusion, the best teams progressed to the knockout stage, a series of single elimination games to determine the winners, starting with the Round of 32 and ending with the final. Consolation matches were also played to determine other final rankings.

Benfica Loures of Portugal were the defending champions but did not enter this year due to financial restraints. The tournament was won by Kfar Qassem of Israel who claimed their first title.
