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