2017 Mundialito de Clubes

The 2017 Mundialito de Clubes was the fifth edition of the Mundialito de Clubes (Club World Cup in English), a biennial international club beach soccer competition contested between top men's clubs from across the world (existing clubs and teams specially assembled for the event). The tournament is loosely similar to the FIFA Club World Cup in association football. However, participating teams are not regional champions, entering via invitation.
