The Campionato Italiano di Beach Soccer is the Italian beach soccer league organized since 2004 by the LND - Dipartimento Beach Soccer. The championship is split into two divisions: the Serie A with 20 clubs in two different Poules and a small Serie B tournament.[1] Each edition is divided in two phases, with small tour around Italian coastal cities that qualify the best eight clubs to the final Playoff tournament.[2]
The Serie A of Beach Soccer is very similar to the EBSL: the 10 clubs of Scudetto Poule and the 10 clubs of Salvezza Poule play three match each in three different Italian coastal municipalities. The regular season ends after every club match one against every opponente in its Poule.
Then, the top seven of first Poule and the winner of the secondary one compete in the Scudetto Playoff,[6] a three-rounds single-elimination tournament to win the Italian championship. The clubs that placed 2nd-4th in the secondary Poule and the bottom-last in the main one compete in a round-robin Promotion Playoff where the winner is promoted in the main Poule (along with the winner of the Salvezza Poule).
The Serie A winner along the best placed clubs qualify to the following Euro Winners Cup.
