Senegal are the most successful nation having won the Beach Soccer AFCON six times and are also the current champions.

In terms of success in qualifying to the World Cup, again Senegal are the most outstanding nation, having qualified in eight out of ten attempts; Nigeria follow close behind, with six qualifications. Mozambique had its debut in 2021 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.

Only four countries have won the Beach Soccer AFCON. The countries are Senegal (six titles), Nigeria (two titles), Cameroon (one title) and Madagascar (one title).

The Beach Soccer AFCON was established in 2006 when FIFA made it a requirement for all confederations to begin holding qualification tournaments to determine the best national team(s) in their region and hence those who would proceed to represent their continent in the upcoming World Cup (previously, nations were simply invited to play without having to earn their place).

FIFA currently allocate Africa two berths at the World Cup and hence the top two teams (the winners and the runners-up) qualify to the World Cup finals.
