Major Procaccini opened the event by thanking Beach Soccer Worldwide “for their absolute trust in Terracina. They wanted Terracina, and Terracina wanted them. For us, it was a great opportunity to host such an internationally known event such as the Euro Beach Soccer League, and there was no doubt that we wanted to take it. Having such an important tournament in our beach is no less than a dream come true”.

Gabino Renales, in the same line, thanked the “Comune di Terracina back, because we found all door opens and an amusing availability from the Sindaco and all his team. For us it is just great to be here, in the cradle of the sport in Italy. I can only say thanks to everyone for being so supportive”.

Two another key figures of the event travelling to Terracina were Gianfranco Azzola, Assessore allo Sport del Comune di Terracina, and Ubaldo Fusco, delegato Al Turismo. Both of them highlighted ”the importance of placing Terracina in the map, and the best way to do so is through sport, considering the excellent bond it has with tourism. There’s no better way to explain the goods of our city than through such an spectacular sport as Beach Soccer. This is a train we could not miss, and this is why we have made such a great effort in having everything ready in such a short time”.

The technical manager of the Italian Beach Soccer National Team, Massimiliano Esposito, closed the conference talking about the possibilities of the Azzurri in the competition, after a quite sweet beginning of 2012, and the special taste of hosting a competition in Terracina, a place he and his team know very well: “It is a pleasure to be here, with three Terracinesi in the team (Palmacci, Feudi and Frainetti), and we want to give the city further visibility with a great performance, and, hopefully, lifting the Cup. The team is in an excellent shape, focused and determined to achieve something important here. If we play the way we know, we can do really well”.
