The Copa Latina (English: Latin Cup) is an invitational four-team beach soccer international tournament that takes place in Brazil. The teams taking part in this competition are nations from Latin Europe or Latin America, with the exception of 2003 participant Canada, who nevertheless has a substantial Latin-speaking region. First played in 1998 in Vitória, the competition rotates between several Brazilian cities. After the knockout format in the inaugural tournament, all the subsequent editions feature a round-robin configuration. Few nations have won the tournament, those being only Brazil, Chile, Portugal and Uruguay.
