The Euro Beach Soccer League (Euro BS League or EBSL) is an annual European competition in beach soccer.
History
Started in 1998 as the European Pro Beach Soccer League, the competitions allow national teams to compete in beach soccer in a league format over the summer months. Each season ends with a superfinal in Marseille deciding the competition winner. In 2006 and 2007, the five top teams of this superfinal qualified for the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup later that year. Portugal and Spain are the most successful nations, winning the league five times each.
