Events like this are truly valuable to foster the development of the sport in the region, which for sure will be seeing one of their countries achieving something important in the World Cup soon”.  

All of the excitement and elite action starts with the host team, South Africa, as they have built an emblematic venue and have helped to successfully increase beach soccer reach in their nation as well the African continent as a whole.
