BSWW creates Task Group with players and coaches

With 13 players and coaches involved, the objective is to find ways to improve players’ conditions these days and debate future strategic decisions

The Covid-19 crisis has heavily impacted all human activity, with thousands of lives lost and millions of people having lost their sources of income. And obviously, the world of sports was not exempt from that crisis.

Moments like this demand action, and Beach Soccer World Wide feels it is our obligation to stand beside our most valuable assets, our fundamental elements: our athletes and teams. 

With this premises, Beach Soccer World Wide has decided to create a working group, in the framework of The Beach Soccer Foundation, involving fourteen players and coaches from the different confederations, with the aim to debate and find solutions to help the beach soccer athletes these days, as well as to debate strategic decisions in the future. 

Beach Soccer legend and FPF Head of Beach Soccer Madjer, 2019’s Best Women’s Player of the Year, Spain’s Carol González, England National team captain and 2017 Best Women’s Player of the Year Sarah Kempson, Brazilian Internationals Bruno Xavier and Barbara Colodetti, Swiss former International and lawyer Moritz Jaeggy, Swiss National coach Angelo Schirinzi, Russia National coach Mikhail Likhachev, USA National Team captain Nick Perera, Former Brazil international Bruno Malias, Morocco National Team coach Mustapha El Hadaoui, Tahiti National coach Naea Bennett, and Japan captain Ozu Moreira will be part of this group. 

The main aim of this Task Group is to find the best conditions for players and coaches all over the world, and its first and foundational mission will be to try to find ways to receive any kind financial support in such difficult conditions as the ones the world of sports is experiencing due to the Covid-19 pandemic. 

The disease outburst has created huge difficulties, and although BSWW is doing all efforts to try to keep this 2020 as active as possible, fighting to find new ways to make competitions happen, some players facing the real possibility of not being able to play one single competition this 2020, which may cause an important problem in their source of income and, obviously, negatively impact their families, too. And this is something Beach Soccer World Wide is highly concerned about.  

In this near future, this beach soccer experts forum will take care of researching different ways to ameliorate that conditions for all beach soccer athletes, analyzing and tackling new opportunities to request funds to help support the most financially fragile members in our community.

There is no time to lose. We are all beach soccer, and we will come out stronger together.
