The 2017 Mundialito de Clubes was the fifth edition of the Mundialito de Clubes (Club World Cup in English), a international club beach soccer competition contested between top men's clubs from across the world (existing clubs and teams specially assembled for the event). The tournament is loosely similar to the FIFA Club World Cup in association football, however participating teams are not regional champions, entering via invitation.
Organised by Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW) and other local entities in Brazil, the competition took place in Vargem Grande Paulista, São Paulo State, Brazil between December 14 and 17, featuring eight clubs.
Barcelona were incumbent champions but did not enter a team this year. The tournament was won by Lokomotiv Moscow who became the first team to win two Mundialito de Clubes titles, beating Iranian club Pars Jonoubi 5–4 in the final.
Eight invited clubs entered the competition, representing six different nations and three continents. Africa, North America and Oceania are unrepresented.
One venue was used in the city of Vargem Grande Paulista, São Paulo.
The draw to split the eight teams into two groups of four was conducted by BSWW and took place in the afternoon of November 30.
Initially, two teams were automatically assigned to the groups:
The remaining six teams were split into three pots of two, shown in the below table.
The clubs were paired into pots based on similar geographical proximity. From each pot, one team was drawn into Group A and the other team was drawn into Group B.
All times are local, BRST (UTC–2).
