MY BEACH SOCCER 
The Beach Soccer family continues to grow as the Spanish La Liga giant has embraced the modality within their club
Valencia CF is the last of the football giants to make a move and join the beach soccer universe, following many others such as AC Milan, FC Barcelona, Boca Juniors, Corinthians, Al Ahly, Sporting Portugal, Lokomotiv Moscow, etc. Beach Soccer offers a whole set of new possibilities to big football clubs, and the Ché do not want to be an outsider to this new era.
16 titles, including six La Liga and seven Copa del Rey titles, are just a few of the things that the prestigious club is bringing to Spanish beach soccer competition in 2015. The 91 year old club is steeped in history and will be warmly welcomed into the beach soccer world. The Ché have long had an eye on beach soccer, in hopes of growing the club itself, but the increasing power and importance of the sport has led to making the move now.
The executive president, Amadeo Salvo, along with Fernando Giner and Francisco Camarasa, both Valencia football legends, and the current top executives of the Valencia CF Players Association, were all in attendance for the presentation and this great stride for the club and beach soccer in general. The ambitions are high, understandably for a team such as Valencia, as Giner went on to say, “We want to become a European champion and a worldwide leader in the sport.”
There will be no rest for the Taronja as they have already begun training and will continue all month, all the while taking part in friendly tournaments leading up to the real action. The Spanish National Beach Soccer Leagues is set to begin in the spring of 2015. Spain’s credibility on the club level circuit is renowned in beach soccer as their current champion, CD Murcia, dethroned 2013 champion Aluminios Sotelo, and the unpredictability will continue. The league champions earn the right to play in the most premier club event, the Euro Winners Cup, Aluminios played in 2014 but the Murcia will represent Spain in the 2015 version.
