Each season ends with a Superfinal, deciding the competition winner. This XVIIIthedition – one of the most prestigious, respected and consolidated beach soccer competitions – began in June in Moscow; and continued its 2nd phase earlier this month in Siofok, Hungary. 16 of the most talented teams from Division A and B in Europe have battled through these two group stages to reach the concluding event of the EBSL 2015 season. 8 teams from Division A qualified for the Superfinal, who are now split into 2 groups to battle it out until a European champion is crowned: Italy, Ukraine, Belarus and Spain in Group 1; and Switzerland, Portugal, Russia, and France are in Group 2. The Promotion Final, which will determine whether the last placed team in Division A over the course of the year is relegated and a Division B team rises to the top-flight division, or if the Division A team will be able to conquer the 7 Division B teams to remain in Division A, is split into two groups: Group 1 has Hungary, Norway, England, and Estonia; Group 2 includes Turkey, Azerbaijan, Romania, and the Czech Republic. All 16 teams will have four games to prove their worth. There will be three days of Group play and then a Championship Sunday where every place from 8th to 1st in Division B and Division A will be determined. Pärnu will be crowning a new European Champion, and a new Division A team.
