FIFA Beach Soccer joins Soccerex Rio again

The sport, to confirm its key role in the convention of the Football World happening late this month by Copacabana

Beach Soccer will again take part in Soccerex Global Convention this year. As the most growing modality of football, its presence in the meeting was indispensable, and FIFA Beach Soccer will have its place at the highest level networking convention of the Football World, to happen from November 26th – 30th. 

Beach Soccer and Rio de Janeiro are indeed an almost indivisible binomial. Precisely, the sand and the sea this city witnessed the sport’s birth, and the Carioca capital has hosted three of the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cups played so far. Stronger and healthier than ever, the sport comes back to its crane to show how much it has grown, and the huge possibilities in its near future.

One of these possibilities, by the way, is the gaining of Olympic Status, with precisely the Olympic Games being held in Rio de Janeiro next 2016, in what stands as a great opportunity for the definite jump of Beach Soccer to its new frontier.

Joan Cusco, FIFA Beach Soccer CEO and FIFA Board Member, highlighted that “Beach Soccer is gaining more and more importance inside FIFA every day. With 20 years if history and six FIFA Beach Soccer World Cups so far, the sport is at the doors of its most exciting chapters, and the Soccerex Global Forum is the ideal place to let everyone know about them”.
