2024 Copa Libertadores de Fútbol Playa

The CONMEBOL Libertadores Fútbol Playa is an annual continental beach soccer club competition, organized by the governing body for football in South America, CONMEBOL, founded in 2016.

Since 2017, the tournament is contested between the top-level domestic league/championship champions from each of the ten South American nations which are members of CONMEBOL. The reigning champions and an additional club from the host country also take part, taking the total number of participants to twelve.[1] It is therefore the premier club beach soccer championship in South America, the winners becoming continental champions.[2]

It is beach soccer's version of the better known Copa Libertadores in association football. Comparatively, in beach soccer, it is South America's version of Europe's Euro Winners Cup.

Paraguayan club San Antonio are the current champions, while Brazilian club Vasco da Gama are the most successful team with three titles.[3]
