Cape Verde has been always known for its pristine waters and his privileged positioning in the western coast of Africa. But from this year on, the African country will also be known for being one very special beach soccer destination.
This coming April, between the 29th and the 1st of May, the Praia Santa Maria, at island of Sal, will host the Sal Beach Soccer Cup 2016, a four-team round robin event featuring the likes of World Champions Portugal, European powerhouses Spain and England and, obvously, hosts Cape Verde.
The Tubarões Azuis, as the Cape Verde National Team are also known, will be making their debut on the international highest-scale stage, and they will do so facing some of the strongest teams in the world. Not bad to begin with…
