An alternative structure will see the Polish Cup and Championship competed for in 2020
The beach soccer world continues to reopen following the events of the past few months, and the action is set to begin in Poland in early July.
The COVID-19 pandemic has seen the 2020 beach soccer season in Poland structure in a slightly different way this year, but the good news is that it is going ahead with more than 50 teams taking part over the men’s, women’s and youth competitions.
Most of the changes will occur in the men’s and youth leagues. The men’s Cup of Poland will act as the qualifying stage of the Polish Championship and has 19 clubs competing to reach the league. Only the top eight finishers in the Cup will qualify for the championship.
The same will happen in the women’s tournaments, as it did in the 2019 season, where 16 teams will compete. As far as the youth league is concerned, there is only one tournament planned, the Championship of Poland, where 16 teams will take part.
The women kick this year’s beach soccer of in Poland with their Cup competition from 3-5 July. The men’s Cup, will take place 10-12 July, while the youth championships are to be held on July 31 – August 2.
Both women’s and men’s championships will be held on 14-16 August and all of the tournaments will take place in the coastal city of Gdansk.
