The FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup (English: Beach Soccer World Cup to German beach soccer World Cup ) is a since 2005 by the world football body FIFA organized competition for national teams in beach soccer . The forerunner was the Beach Soccer World Cup held annually from 1995 to 2004 and organized by Beach Soccer Worldwide . The tournament has been held every two years since 2009.
In the first ten events that were not organized by FIFA, Brazil won nine and Portugal one title. France won their first title in 2005 and Russia in 2011. So far there are only four nations that have won the world championship. The record participant is Brazil, which has so far participated in all 18 events.
In 2005 FIFA became the organizer of the Beach Soccer World Cup. The world championships continued to be held annually. After the Beach Soccer World Cup in Dubai in 2009 , the 1-year cycle will be abandoned and the world championships will only be held every two years, so that the continental winner can also be determined in a tournament at the continental level.
Germany submitted its application to host the 2017 World Cup for the first time. However, this took place in the Bahamas .
