The 2017 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup was the ninth edition of the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup, the premier international beach soccer championship contested by the men's national teams of the member associations of FIFA. Overall, this was the 19th edition of a world cup in beach soccer since the establishment of the Beach Soccer World Championships which ran from 1995 to 2004 but was not governed by FIFA. This was the fourth tournament to take place under the biennial basis; the World Cup now takes place once every two years, after taking place on a yearly basis until 2009.

FIFA originally started the bidding process in April 2013, whilst in December 2014, the Bahamas were appointed as hosts; this was the first time a men's senior FIFA tournament was hosted in the Caribbean,{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/aboutfifa/organisation/news/newsid=2494723/index.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141219175744/http://www.fifa.com/aboutfifa/organisation/news/newsid=2494723/index.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=19 December 2014|title=Ethics: Executive Committee unanimously supports recommendation to publish report on 2018/2022 FIFA World Cup bidding process|publisher=FIFA.com|date=19 December 2014}} and the first FIFA tournament hosted by the Bahamas. Fifteen teams advanced through their respective preliminary continental qualification competitions, which started in September 2016 and ended in March 2017, to join the host team in the final tournament which included three nations making their debuts at the finals and notably saw two-time champions (in 2011 and 2013) Russia fail to qualify.{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/beachsoccerworldcup/teams/index.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071023055855/http://www.fifa.com/beachsoccerworldcup/teams/index.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=23 October 2007|title=FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Bahamas 2017 – Teams|publisher=FIFA.com|access-date=2 March 2017}} The tournament was played from 27 April to 7 May 2017, with all 32 matches hosted in one 3,500 seater stadium, in the Bahamian capital, Nassau.{{cite web|url=http://resources.fifa.com/mm/document/affederation/administration/02/77/97/99/circularno.1533-slotallocation_neutral.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160419041103/http://resources.fifa.com/mm/document/affederation/administration/02/77/97/99/circularno.1533-slotallocation_neutral.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=19 April 2016|title=FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Bahamas 2017 – slot allocation|publisher=FIFA.com|date=4 April 2016}}

Due to undisclosed circumstances, FIFA did not pick a host from the first round of bidding by December 2013. And so on 6 March 2014, FIFA announced that bidding had re-opened for the 2017 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup. New member associations interested in hosting submitted a declaration of interest by 15 April 2014, and provided the complete set of bidding documents by 1 October 2014.{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/aboutfifa/organisation/news/newsid=2293621/index.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140306142058/http://www.fifa.com/aboutfifa/organisation/news/newsid=2293621/index.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=6 March 2014|title=Bidding process opened for eight FIFA competitions|publisher=FIFA.com|date=19 December 2013}}

Qualification

Qualification began with the European qualifiers on 2 September 2016 and concluded with the final match of the AFC event on 11 March 2017. The hosts, the Bahamas, qualified automatically.

European nations usually receive five spots at the World Cup, and North American nations, two. However Since the Bahamas, as hosts, automatically qualified, taking one of the two North American two berths by default, it was decided by FIFA to transfer one spot from UEFA to CONCACAF to still allow two North American countries to qualify as normal, reducing the number of European berths to four.

The two African qualifiers were determined via the 2016 Africa Beach Soccer Cup of Nations (the first time the qualification event was held under the Africa Cup of Nations title after CAF upped their commitment to beach soccer in 2015).{{cite web|url=http://www.cafonline.com/en-US/NewsCenter/News/NewsDetails?id=KXDfhHRQfmo848MmjaimQA%3d%3d|title=Decisions of CAF Executive Committee on 6 August 2015|publisher=CAF|date=9 August 2015|access-date=20 April 2016}} Eight nations took part in the finals between 13 and 18 December in Lagos, Nigeria, who qualified from a preliminary 14 team, two-legged play off event in August and September.{{cite web|url=http://www.cafonline.com/en-US/NewsCenter/News/NewsDetails?id=NlgtqNa4%2bOPwIQ5brWBang%3d%3d|title=14 teams battle for seven places|publisher=CAF|date=4 July 2016}} Senegal ultimately proved victorious claiming their fourth African crown and fourth successive qualification to the World Cup.

Iran and the United Arab Emirates successfully won their semi finals to qualify for the World Cup (for the 7th and 5th time respectively), with Iran winning the final (their 2nd AFC title). Semi final losers Japan and Lebanon contested the final World Cup berth in the third place play off with the Japanese coming out on top to qualify.{{cite web |url=http://www.the-afc.com/afc-beach-soccer-championship-2017-fifa-beach-soccer-world-cup-2017/iran-crowned-2017-afc-beach |title=Iran crowned 2017 AFC Beach Soccer champions |publisher=the-AFC.com |date=11 March 2017}}

The other successful qualifiers were runners-up Switzerland, third placed and defending World Champions Portugal who beat Italy, finishing fourth, the final qualifier.{{cite web|url=http://www.beachsoccer.com/news/jesolo-title-makes-qualification-sweeter-for-poland|title=Jesolo title makes qualification sweeter for Poland|publisher=Beach Soccer Worldwide|date=11 September 2016}} Poland's success in the second group stage caused a major upset by denying two time World Cup champions (2011 and 2013) Russia a berth at the finals for the first time since 2006. Three time World Cup runners-up (2003, 2004 and 2013) Spain also failed to qualify for just the second time since their debut in 1998.

Draw

The official draw was held on 28 February 2017, 20:00 EST (UTC−5), at the Atlantis Paradise Island Hotel in Nassau, Bahamas, in the attendance of the Bahamas Prime Minister, Perry Christie and CONCACAF General Secretary, Philippe Moggio. Former Brazilian association football international, Emerson and Miss Universe Bahamas 2016, Cherell Williamson, assisted the draw.{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/beachsoccerworldcup/news/y=2017/m=2/news=relive-official-draw-for-bahamas-2017-2868866.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170301063215/http://www.fifa.com/beachsoccerworldcup/news/y=2017/m=2/news=relive-official-draw-for-bahamas-2017-2868866.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=1 March 2017|title=RELIVE: Official Draw for Bahamas 2017|publisher=FIFA.com|date=28 February 2017}}{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/beachsoccerworldcup/news/y=2017/m=2/news=sixteen-nations-learn-their-fate-at-bahamas-2017-draw-2868884.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170301062712/http://www.fifa.com/beachsoccerworldcup/news/y=2017/m=2/news=sixteen-nations-learn-their-fate-at-bahamas-2017-draw-2868884.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=1 March 2017|title=Sixteen nations learn their fate at Bahamas 2017 Official Draw|publisher=FIFA.com|date=1 March 2017}}

The 16 teams were drawn into four groups of four teams, with hosts Bahamas being allocated to position A1. The teams were seeded into their respective pots based on their BSWW Beach Soccer Rankings published on 27 February 2017, with the highest ranked teams placed into pot 1 alongside the hosts, the next highest ranked into pot 2 and so on. The identity of the AFC teams were not known at the time of the draw, so the three slots reserved for AFC teams were seeded based on the order in which they would finish in the 2017 AFC Beach Soccer Championship and not the world rankings, with the winners of the qualifiers going to pot 2, runners-up to pot 3 and third place team to pot 4. Teams from the same confederation could not be drawn against each other for the group stage.{{cite web|url=http://resources.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/competition/02/86/87/70/fbswcbahamas2017drawprocedures27.02.2017_neutral.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170301011254/http://resources.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/competition/02/86/87/70/fbswcbahamas2017drawprocedures27.02.2017_neutral.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=1 March 2017|title=Draw Procedures FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Bahamas 2017|publisher=FIFA.com}}

Awards

In the aftermath of the final at 18:00 local time, FIFA presented individual awards to the three best players of the tournament, three top goal scorers, and to the best goalkeeper. In addition, a collective award was given to the team with the most points in the Fair Play ranking.{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/beachsoccerworldcup/awards/index.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071113071814/http://www.fifa.com/beachsoccerworldcup/awards/index.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=13 November 2007|title=Awards|publisher=fifa.com|access-date=May 8, 2017}} Following this, this winners trophy was awarded to Brazil, the champions of this year's World Cup.

When deciding the scoring awards, players tied with the same number of goals scored were then split based on the number of assists the tied players in question provided during the tournament, with the player with more assists ranked higher than the other.{{cite web|url=http://resources.fifa.com/mm/document/footballdevelopment/technicalsupport/02/67/46/68/fbswc2015reportweb_neutral.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150906093725/http://resources.fifa.com/mm/document/footballdevelopment/technicalsupport/02/67/46/68/fbswc2015reportweb_neutral.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=6 September 2015|title=FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Portugal 2015 TECHNICAL REPORT AND STATISTICS|publisher=fifa.com|access-date=May 30, 2017}} In this case, Rodrigo and Ahmadzadeh were tied on nine goals each. However Rodrigo had three assists to Ahmadzadeh's one and so were ranked accordingly.{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/beachsoccerworldcup/statistics/players/goal-scored.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150712082547/http://www.fifa.com/beachsoccerworldcup/statistics/players/goal-scored.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=12 July 2015|title=FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Portugal 2017 – Players - Top goals|publisher=fifa.com|access-date=May 30, 2017}}

Statistics

=Goalscorers=

Top goalscorer, Gabriele Gori, recorded the second highest number of goals ever scored in a World Cup with 17 and became the first Italian of the FIFA era to be top scorer (Alessandro Altobelli was top scorer in the pre-FIFA era in 1995 and 1996). Notably Madjer (who holds the record for the highest number of goals scored at a single World Cup (21 in 2006) and the highest tally of goals overall in the FIFA era at 87) failed to score even a single goal at a World Cup finals for the very first time.{{cite web|url=http://resources.fifa.com/mm/document/fifafacts/mencompbswc/65/13/72/statskit_fbswc_2017_neutral.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170911001107/http://resources.fifa.com/mm/document/fifafacts/mencompbswc/65/13/72/statskit_fbswc_2017_neutral.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-date=11 September 2017 |title=FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Statistical Kit |publisher=fifa.com |date=6 April 2017 |access-date=30 May 2017}}

Former Golden Boot winner, Dejan Stankovic, scored his highest number of goals (seven) since winning the award with 16 in 2009. The winner of the Golden Boot in the last edition, Pedro Moran (who won the award with eight goals) scored five goals this time around.

There was a total of 103 scorers in this year's World Cup.
