2023 World Winners Cup

The 2023 World Winners Cup was the third edition of World's premier beach soccer club competition contested in Alghero from 26 September to 1st October 2023 and won by Napoli Beach Soccer in a 6–3 final against Riga FC.

The Azzurri victory was the first world achievement for a Campania club and the first one for Italy in any BSWW worldwide event.

This was the second edition of the tournament held in Sardegna after the 2022 WWC organized in Cagliari. This was the second major event held in Alghero after 2023 EBSL Superfinal. The small city near Sassari hosted also the 2024 World Winners Cup and EBSL finals.
