With the flashing spectacle, the music, the vibe and their atmosphere, they change the life of a city, and this is why we always look for representative places to host them. Berlin is a key trendy hotspot for us, as it entails lots of values strictly paralleled with those of beach soccer. And, having the stadium by the O₂ World is wonderful, as we bind the sport with a spectacular venue, just as we do with South Beach in Miami, Copacabana in Rio de Janeiro, Circo Massimo in Rome, etc.”
