Beach Soccer opens CONCACAF Congress

Brazil and Mexico contested before the reception event relying on the presence of the FIFA and CONCACAF dignitaries

An exhibition game between World Champions, Brazil, and CONCACAF Champions, Mexico, was held last Monday in the Beach Soccer Worldwide Miami Cup Venue, as an exciting pre-opening for the CONCACAF 27^th Ordinary Congress, part of the Confederation’s year-long 50th anniversary. Together with the game, the VIP tent of the Beach Soccer stadium hosted a reception event for such a key celebration for CONCACAF, featuring FIFA president, Joseph S. Blatter, UEFA president and FIFA vice-president Michel Platini, CONCACAF president Jack A. Warner, FIFA vice-president Angel Maria Villar, UEFA vice-president, FIFA Executive Committee members Marios Lefkaritis and Chuck Blazer (also CONCACAF Secretary General), and FIFA Secretary General, Jérôme Valcke, among others.

All the delegates, executives and members from FIFA and CONCACAF enjoyed a great beach soccer game in which Brazil staged all their talent again to blast Mexico (1-6). Although the match was held in a closed-door format, the spectacle fielded the best of the sport, with the eye-catching footballing, the fair play, the music, the sexy touch and the sea aroma. Buru, Benjamin, Plata and Co. set up a wonderful play everyone enjoyed for the best starting signal to this special party.
