The 2022 WAFF Beach Soccer Championship was the 2nd edition of the WAFF Beach Soccer Championship, the international beach soccer championship contested by men's national teams of the member associations of WAFF. The tournament was held in Jazan, Saudi Arabia.[1] Initially, the competition was scheduled from May 16 to 21, 2022, but it was postponed by two days due to the death of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan. as Saudi Arabia observed a three-day suspension of sports activities in Saudi Arabia as a mark of respect.[2]

Iran won the previous edition in 2013 and would have been the defending champions. However, Iran has since left WAFF to join CAFA. The tournament was won by the United Arab Emirates, who secured their first WAFF Beach Soccer Championship title by defeating Oman in the final who finished as runners-up for the second consecutive time.[3][4][5]
