The 2025 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup qualifiers for UEFA was a beach soccer tournament contested by European men's national teams who are members of UEFA that determines the four nations from Europe that qualify to the 2025 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in Seychelles.

The event, organised by Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW), takes place in Cádiz, Spain from 4–13 October 2024.[1]

The tournament is a multi-stage competition, consisting of a first group stage, single knockout round, second group stage, and placement matches.

One participating team was undisclosed at the time of the draw and was placed in position four of Group F.[1][3][4][5][6] However, this slot was ultimately not filled by any team.

Notes
  1. ^ Lithuania refused to fulfil their fixture against Belarus in protest of the Belarusian involvement in the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[10][11] For administrative purposes, Belarus were awarded a 3–0 walkover win.
  2. ^ a b c d e f Due to inclement weather conditions on 12 October, some of the second group stage matches had to be postponed until 13 October. This forced the cancellation of all placement matches, also scheduled for 13 October. The tournament champions were therefore decided by the team with the most points at the conclusion of the second group stage instead.[12][13]
