CAF Beach Soccer Championships Seychelles 2015
Beach soccer is booming in Africa and the next two months will continue that trend. The CAF Beach Soccer Championships Seychelles 2015 (FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup 2015 – CAF Qualifier Seychelles) will be the biggest event going into the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Portugal 2015. The Qualifier will start on the 14th of April and finish on the 19th, with the top two teams going to the World Cup. Eight teams will be participating in the Qualifier and they will only be the very best of Africa, as the teams are all currently competing for the final places. The final stage for the pre-qualification stage, home and away, starts on the 16th of March and finishes with the second leg being held on the 23rd of March.
Excitement is an understatement for the looming World Cup Qualifier, as Seychelles has recently organized their beach soccer program, participated in their first high-quality international event, and will be hosting this very important and prestigious event, another first for the African island. The country is more than ready for the challenge and pressures as they have grown up informally playing beach soccer and basking in the forever sunny paradise. The other seven participating teams to take on the hosts will be finalized on the 25th of March. Nigeria is the only other team that has earned their place in the Qualifier, as they have already marched through their opponents.
The entire continent has been buzzing since the Power Horse Beach Soccer African Trophy Durban 2015, in which Senegal, by no means an underdog, charged through the competition to take home first place. The top teams in Africa participated in Durban, eight to be in fact, and some of the familiar faces, along with some surprises, will again be present in Seychelles for the Qualifier. The African Trophy came three months after a spectacular closing to the 2014 season, with the BSWW Tour Copa Lagos 2014, where the Ivory Coast upset the hosts and favourites, Nigeria, to finish the year strong. That tournament saw four excellent sides do battle from December 12th-14th.
Seychelles looked impressive in their debut at the African Trophy and being an ideal setting for beach soccer in general, let alone a FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Qualifier, makes the fervor surrounding this tournament even greater. As only the winner and runner-up at the Qualifier will book tickets to Portugal for the 9th-19th of July, you will not want to miss any of the action, follow at beachsoccer.com. The pre-qualification news will also be updated as soon as it happens.
