Rayo Barcelona BSC claimed the Women's World Winners Cup Alanya 2026 title, beating Brazil's São Pedro BS 4–3 after extra time in a final that swung one way, then the other, before a header settled it with seconds to spare.
Two comebacks, one decisive header
Adriana Manau opened the scoring for the Spanish club three minutes in. The lead did not last. Jéssica equalised in the closing seconds of the first half, and Adriele put São Pedro ahead in the second period with a powerful spot kick.
Manau pulled Rayo level at 2–2 late in the second half, only for Sil to restore São Pedro's advantage before the break. With four minutes left in regulation, Joana Meira converted a spot kick to make it 3–3 and force extra time.
The decider came from Julia Serrat, whose header roughly five seconds from the end secured the trophy for a Rayo side that had been behind twice. The final, scheduled at 20:30 at the Main Stadium, closed an unbeaten run through the competition.
Spain's second world club crown
The title is the first for Rayo Barcelona BSC in women's beach soccer club competition, and the second for a Spanish team after Higicontrol Melilla in 2025. Rayo advanced unbeaten through the competition, having edged Red Devils Ladies 4–3 in the semi-finals.
Manau was named tournament MVP and top scorer with 10 goals. São Pedro's Kylma received the Best Goalkeeper award, while Red Devils Ladies beat Nomads BS 2–1 for third place. Higicontrol Melilla took fifth with a 2–1 win over Tokyo Verdy BS, and DFA Hrobce beat Ceilândia EC 7–2 for seventh.
The event drew 17 clubs, produced 260 goals across 40 matches and was the biggest in the competition's history. Rayo now inherits the Spanish club's place on the roll of honour from Melilla.
