Top teams and celebrities boost Miami Cup

Brazil, Spain and Mexico will be the contenders for hosts USA in a tournament ending with a Celebrity Beach Soccer Game

Some of the most fearful sides in the world will moor on the coast of Florida for the upcoming Beach Soccer Miami Cup. To keep the Cup at home, hosts USA will have to battle some of the best teams in this thrilling Beach Soccer exhibition. The uncontestable World Champions, Brazil, the current CONCACAF crown holders, Mexico, and one of the traditional European powerhouses, Spain, warrant a top-notch spectacle in the first edition of such a flashing event, taking place in Miami’s South Beach (between 20^th and 22^nd streets), from April 29^th to May 1^st

Matches will start on Friday (15:30 hours) with USA getting the chance to avenge the defeat to Mexico that left them out of the next FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup. Immediately afterwards, around 16:45h Brazil and Spain will close the opening day with one of the most traditional battles in the sport.  On Saturday, Spaniards and Mexicans will reedit their past spark-flying battles (15:30h) right before the USA face the verdeamarela champions. Finally, Sunday will see a USA-Spain (13:00h) and a Brazil-Mexico (16:00) decide who the ones to lift the cup are in the last competition leg.  

But high-performance beach soccer will not be the only spectacle on display on the South Beach sand, since this BSWW Miami Cup will count on many different actions to bring even more excitement on. One of the coolest is a celebrity Beach Soccer game, scheduled for Sunday 1^st May, 14:30 hours, featuring some of the current most popular pop singers, actors, musicians, sportmen, who will join the action to jump onto the venue pitch for a really eye-catching match. Within the next ten days, their names will be confirmed, drawing the starting lineup of such a special fixture.
