Copa Latina (beach soccer)

For other uses, see Latin Cup (disambiguation).

The Copa Latina (English: Latin Cup) was an international beach soccer tournament that took place annually in Brazil between 1998 and 2011 (save for 2007 and 2008). Four teams took part which were invitees from Latin Europe or Latin America (with the exception of 2003 participant Canada, which nevertheless has a substantial Latin sub-region). First played in Vitória, the competition rotated between several cities. After the knockout format of the inaugural tournament, all subsequent editions featured a round-robin format.
