This 2013 will end in the same way that the upcoming 2014 will begin: with top-class beach soccer in Recife (Brazil). Right before Christmas, between 20th and 22nd of December, The Copa das Naçoes will experience its third edition, discovering a new International Beach Soccer venue in Brazil.

After their victory in January this same year, the Verdeamarela, will try to defend the crown they claimed in Santos. Junior Negão's team will have it nothing easy, though, as two big monsters will be landing in Recife from the Old Continent: Switzerland and Portugal. Together with them, neighbours Uruguay will cross the border to try and turn the pre-Christmas days into a nightmare for the Tetracampeão.

Again mixing experienced players and new talent, Junior Negão targets this Copa das Naçoes as the best way to conclude this 2013 which has been the Brazilians grabbing the bronze medal in the last FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup 2013. After the bitter memories of Dubai, Brazil needs something remarkable to cheer their spirit up.
