The romance between Oman and Beach Soccer is getting stronger and stronger. The Omani people have already discovered all what Beach Soccer is about, and they have become truthful warm supporters to our sport. Best and highly-significant proof to it is the attendance figures at the Beach Soccer Stadium during the Asian Beach Games in the Al Musannah Sport City. Almost 70.000 people missed not the chance of enjoying the most spectacular version of The Beautiful Game from the stands of the excellent venue ready to host such a thrilling competition. This wonderful response by the crowd made Beach Soccer, by far, the most followed sport in the whole Asian Beach Games.
Needless to say, when Oman was playing, there was not a single seat left, but the great news are that other matches not involving the host side, such as the UAE-Uzbekistan, China-Iran, UAE-Japan, UAE-Qatar, Bahrain-Vietnam, and some others were also close to a 3000 spectators rate. Equally valuable, the atmosphere experienced during the key matches in this pan-Asian sport festival is something worth stressing. Those who had the chance of diving into the noisy and colorful environment will never forget.
After such a success, the Beach Soccer national representatives of Oman are seriously considering to increase the stadium capacity regarding future events or competitions, and turning it into a close to 4000 seater arena.
