The winners will be known at the Beach Soccer Stars gala in Dubai on 6 November
The clock is ticking for this year’s best players and coach to be known. The final list of the 100 best male players, 40 best female players and 20 best coaches has been announced.
National teams’ captains and coaches will vote until 11 October to decide who succeeds to Ozu, Molly Clark and Mikhail Likhachev as Best Player, Best Women’s Player and Best Coach respectively.
For the women’s award voting, the coach and captain of the Beach Soccer Clubs that have participated in the last edition of the World Winners Cup Cagliari 2022 and the Euro Winners Cup 2022 can also vote, and in case a Federation doesn’t have a women’s beach soccer national team active, then the men’s team captain & coach will vote for the best women player.
Here is the full list of the nominees:
