04 - KICKING OFF

KICKING OFF Dear friends, Here we are again, at the end of another successful season, to celebrate each step we took together, all the brilliant work done by each and every one of you. Fortunately, things in our world keep moving forward, progressing. The sport keeps changing, keeps evolving, and it is all thanks to the passion you all put in every game, in every training session. All this work and belief helps beach soccer to keep knocking on doors, and, more and more often, having them opened. So, thanks for every little big bit you contribute with to make beach soccer world a better place every day. This year, we have also experienced a new dimension in beach soccer broadcasting, with key partnerships that guarantee that the beach soccer games are broadcast further and faster, as well as in higher quality, to all our fans worldwide. But 2018 is almost over, so let me look to the future… We are about to step into one of the busiest and most exciting years in the history of beach soccer. And this is something that we have said before, what means that the sport has the capacity to keep on growing, with new competitions, new boundaries with the world’s prime sports organisations: FIFA, UEFA, ANOC, sincerely supporting and endorsing beach soccer. In 2019, we will not only experience a new FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup, with the recently announced tenth edition flying to Asunción in Paraguay, but we will also go to Minsk for the second European Games. Besides that, we will all enjoy the first ever World Beach Games, a multi-sport festival right where we like them to be, where the sea meets the sand.

HUAWEI INTERCONTINENTAL BEACH SOCCER CUP DUBAI 20

IRAN ARE BACK

A

head of the tournament, the iconic Iranian goalkeeper, Hosseini, offered the world of beach soccer a bold statement… “We come to Dubai with one very clear objective: winning the cup.”

The Spanish kept pace with the world champions until the third period, as Edu (scorer of the 2018 Goal of the Year) cancelled out Bruno Xavier’s strike, and then Llorenç (recently-crowned World’s Best Player) did the same after Datinha took back the lead.

What seemed like classic pre-competition rhetoric may have actually been more of a prophecy.

At 2-2, the match was close but then Brazil found that extra stamina to finish the game off and win 5-2. Egypt beat hosts UAE, Russia held off a stubborn Tahiti and Iran put eight past USA for three points.

In truth, the 2018 Huawei Intercontinental Cup in Dubai had it all: records were broken, thrones were reclaimed and giants were felled… Group stages This year’s Huawei Intercontinental Cup got underway with a sizzling match between Brazil and debutants Spain, involving one nominee for Best Goalkeeper, two nominees for Best Coach, and all three nominees for Best Player of the Year.

Day two saw more of the same from Brazil, who defeated Egypt by ten goals to five, and Russia sunk USA when Zemskov scored six. Iran calmly took three points to knock Tahiti out of the competition and the hosts also found winning form with a tight 4-5 win against Spain.


018

K!

Brazil suffered their first defeat after 66 games in Dubai

On the final day of the group stages, Brazil, Russia and Iran were already through but the latter two had to play each other for the top spot. Iran edged the three-time champions by three goals to two, while Brazil knocked out their Emirati hosts. Egypt beat Spain to clinch the last spot in the semi-finals.

of activity saw Iran claim the tie by three goals to one, as well as a precious spot in the final. Next, the two most successful sides in the Intercontinental Cup came together, but one had to fall. In beach soccer there is always a winner and this one went right down to the wire to decide it‌

The Fall of Brazil Eight became four, as the remaining teams, including all three previous winners of the Intercontinental Cup, prepared to do battle in the semi-finals.

In spite of their current form, Brazil found themselves trailing as Russia built up a three-goal lead through Makarov, Nikonorov and Paporotnyi.

First, it was Egypt against Iran. It took a long time for the deadlock to be broken between the Pharaohs and Team Melli, but the score was eventually opened deep into the second period by Masoumizadeh.

With only one period to go, it looked as if the game was over. But a very late commotion of goal-scoring saw Bruno Xavier grab two and Rodrigo snatch a last second equaliser to force extra time with the score at 4-4.

Leading by one goal going into the final period, a sudden flurry

The number nine scored again in the added minutes, but


18 - QUARTERLY REVIEW Nikonorov was there to level up with a sublime volley, taking the match to penalties. Brazil’s 66-game unbeaten run came to a cruel end from the penalty spot, as Filipe shot wide and Makarov held his nerve to deliver the lethal blow... The final was set: Iran vs Russia. Who would reclaim the crown from the fallen champions? Triumph of Iran With Brazil out of the picture, 2018 promised to name a new champion. A return for one of these strong sides to glory in Dubai. The score was opened when Kiani struck a fortunate bobbling freekick over the outstretch body of Chuzhkov, one of the nominees for the Best Goalkeeper of the Year, to get Marco Octavio’s men off the mark. Then Russia went two behind as Masoumizadeh turned in from close range. To make matters worse, Behzadpour, filling in for the injured Hosseini between the Iranian posts, blasted a rocket, which took a lucky (or unlucky) deflection off the Russian Shishin, to make it three. The second period saw Shkarin gift the Iranians a fourth when he involuntarily stuck the ball into his own net. Luck seemed to have turned its back on Likhachev’s side that evening, but the Russian team had not had their last say. Paporotnyi did his best to drag Mikhail Likhachev’s men back into the tie with two goals but it was too little too late, and as the final whistle went the Iranians ran around the pitch in ecstatic celebration. Five years after their first and last Intercontinental title, they had done it again. Brazil took up third place after beating Egypt 3-5, while the USA claimed their best ever finish coming in in fifth place. First-timers Spain finished sixth, with hosts UAE in seventh and Tahiti in eighth. In terms of individual awards, Rodrigo’s blistering performance throughout the tournament earned him the MVP trophy, while Zemskov claimed Top Scorer with nine goals (six of which came in one match!). The Best Goalkeeper went to H. Behzadpour of Iran. The 2018 edition was certainly an historic one, and will be remembered for many reasons. All that remains is to say a huge congratulations to Iran and a big thank you to the city of Dubai – see you next year!

THE BEACH SOCCER STARS 2018

A STARRY NIG

The best in the sport gathered in Dubai to claim their awards

B

each soccer awarded its top protagonists in a night of opulence, as usually bare feet suddenly sport high heels and polished shoes, and a red carpet replaces the sand underfoot.

In its fifth edition, the Beach Soccer Stars saw the convergence of the sport’s biggest names and brightest talents, many of whom had just finished their Huawei Intercontinental Cup campaign, some had been nominated for awards and others were simply there to enjoy one of the biggest nights in the beach soccer calendar. The backdrop for the Beach Soccer Stars 2018 was the V Hotel Dubai Curio Collection by Hilton (previously known as the W Dubai); after all, every good event needs a top-class venue… And this was the theme of the evening’s first award, the prize for

the Best Event of the Year. Presenting this one was His Excellency Saeed Hareb, Secretary General of Dubai Sports Council. After a brief video reminding us of the awesome spectacles put on by each of three nominees, His Excellency announced the winner: the Euro Beach Soccer League Regular Event and the Women’s Euro Beach Soccer Cup in Nazaré. He called Walter Chicharro, the Mayor of Nazaré, to collect the trophy on behalf of the Portuguese costal town. Next, it was the turn of the Best Goal of the Year to be awarded, and handing this one over would be Peyman Hosseini, the iconic Iranian goalkeeper who won the award last year. The Spanish number nine, Eduard, claimed the prize for his stunning overhead. But his coach, Joaquin Alonso, was also up


GHT…

for the award for Best Coach. Alonso’s competition was Angelo Schirinzi of Switzerland and the Brazilian, Gilberto, who tasted victory once more this year, retaining the title that he had won in 2017. He delivered a moving acceptance speech, as he was handed the trophy by the legendary beach soccer coach, Marcelo Mendes. Things were done a little differently in the presentation of the Rising Star award this year. The presenter of the award had absolutely no idea of the responsibility he would be assuming prior to his name being called out. As a special send off to Beach Soccer Worldwide’s very own Alex Soriano, the Huawei Intercontinental Cup event director unveiled the award for this year’s rising star. The award went to Iran’s

Moradi, a fine way for the young striker to round off his team’s Intercontinental victory in Dubai. Then the award for the safest hands in the game, and the three nominees for the Best Goalkeeper were: Elinton Andrade (Portugal), Maksim Chuzhkov (Russia) and Mao (Brazil). Presenting this one was another of beach soccer’s finest goalkeepers, Andrey Bukhlitskiy, who revealed the name of the Portuguese number 12, Andrade. After a short acceptance speech, the Portuguese shot-stopper sat down only to be called once more, as the keeper of choice in the 5 Stars award. He was soon joined on the stage by Ozu the Japanese defender, as well as the two Brazilian nominees for the Best Player of the Year, Bruno Xavier, Datinha.

T

hat was four, but the ultimate beach soccer dream team still needed its main striker. The last spot went to the final nominee for the Best Player award, the prolific goalmachine, Llorenç. The Spaniard took a little longer than he normally would to climb onto the stage, hindered by his new crutches. He had broken his foot in La Roja’s last group game against Egypt but, impressively, still managed to finish the game! The penultimate award was the Best Women’s Player of the Year, and Paria Shahriahri, Head of IRIFF Beach Soccer Department took to the stage to divulge the winner. The three nominees were Adriele from Brazil, Molly Clark from England and Marina Fedorova from Russia. It was Marina Fedorova who claimed the prize. “I am really happy and surprised to receive this award“, she commented afterwards. “When I was nominated, I didn’t even realise an award like this existed in beach soccer!” Then, it was arguably the moment the world of beach soccer had been waiting for. Something that many of the hundreds of players will have had in the back of their minds throughout the season… The Best Player of the Year award. Who better to hand over the trophy, but the Spanish beach soccer legend, Ramiro Amarelle. As he opened the envelope, the room held its breath… “The Best Player of 2018…Llorenç!” The audience burst into applause as a beaming Llorenç made his way to the stage once more. After posing for a few photos, he turned to address the crowd of stars, holding back tears of joy. “I want to thank Datinha and Bruno [Xavier] for sharing this moment with me. I learnt a lot from you in our time playing for Kristall and Barcelona.” He went on to thank his family, coach, teammates, staff and everyone who voted for him. Although he will be out for a while with his injury, the Spaniard will be back on the sand before long, and we look forward to seeing what the year’s brightest star will provide beach soccer with in the future…

The Promotion final went down to the penalty kick shootout, too

BEST EVENT

EBSL & Women’s EBSC Nazaré 2018

I

t was the proud mayor of Nazaré, Walter Chicharro, who took the stage to accept the award for Best Event.

“Having a top-class beach soccer event is what we have been longing for.” He told the gathered stars. “It means a lot to Nazaré.” The Portuguese coastal town hosted four events this summer over two separate periods: the Nazaré Cup, the Euro Winners Cup (men’s and women’s), the Euro Beach Soccer League Nazaré (regular phase) and the Women’s Euro Beach Soccer Cup, but it was the latter two that it claimed the prize for.


24 - QUARTERLY REVIEW

BEST GOAL

Edu Suárez

B

efore his fellow Catalan stood up to accept the Best Player award, it was the turn of the La Roja’s number nine to claim a prize of his own; the award for the Best Goal of the Year.

Edu’s sumptuous bicycle kick was voted as the best goal by over 50,000 beach soccer fans on the Beach Soccer Worldwide website…you can’t argue with the fans, and Edu had some special words for them… “This prize means so much to me. Thanks to all the people who voted me”


BEST COACH

Gilberto Costa

W

inning just about everything his team has been involved in over the last three years or so, Gilberto is a deserving and humble winner of this award.

For a second year running, Gilberto went home from Dubai with the trophy for the Best Coach of the Year. The man behind the wheel of the defending world champions, and Brazil’s incredible winning streak, which was halted after 66 games by Russia in the semi-finals of the Huawei Intercontinental Cup, offered a very personal and moving speech, bringing many in the crowd to tears. Always a gentleman, he had messages for his fellow coaches who had been nominated for the award, and didn’t forget to credit the people around him… “I want to thank my staff, my directors and my players. This prize is yours, too.”


26 - QUARTERLY REVIEW

RISING STAR

Moradi

T

he Rising Star award is an important way to recognise the upand-coming talent in the world of beach soccer. Past winners of this award include: Noel Ott, Bé Martins, Rodrigo and Nikonorov.

“I am so happy that I do not know how to explain it”, he said. The 22-year-old Iranian proved that he was up to it with a dazzling performance during the Huawei Intercontinental Cup in Dubai, and played a huge part in Iran’s historic success. He also bagged the trophy for MVP in the Persian Beach Soccer Cup. Still being very young, we can`t wait to see what this exciting talent will bring to beach soccer.


BEST GOALKEEPER

Elinton Andrade

N

o stranger to picking up awards, the 2016 Best Goalkeeper took to the stage once more to claim the award two years later, seeing off competition from Brazilian, Mao and Russian, Chuzkhov.

After electing to give his acceptance speech in French the last time, the 2018 edition saw the Portuguese number 12 share some words in English. after thanking his team and everyone who voted for him, Andrade credited his own vision and work-rate… “I always believe in my dreams, and I work hard to achieve them” He also made it into the 5 Stars, the award whereby coaches and captains vote to put together a beach soccer dream team, along with Ozu, Datinha, Bruno Xavier, and Llorenç.

BEST WOMEN`S PLAYER

Marina Fedorova

T

he second ever award for the Best Women’s Player of the Year went to Russia’s star striker, Marina Fedorova.

“I really didn’t expect it.” she said on receiving the award. “It made me so happy!” It may have come as a surprise to the Russian number 11, but following her sensational performance in the Euro Winners Cup, helping WFC Zvezda to lift the trophy, this award came as little surprise to many. She also won MVP at the Euro Beach Soccer Cup in Nazaré, as the Russian national side claimed the title, with Fedorova scoring against Spain in the final.


BEST PLAYER

Llorenç

T

he list of the individual awards Llorenç has picked up this year is a lengthy one to say the least. He has won six Top Scorer trophies, in the Euro Winners Cup, EBSL Warnemunde, Persian Beach Soccer Cup, as well as the Polish (KP Lodz), Japanese (Tokyo Verde) and Russian (CSKA Moscow) beach soccer leagues. Add to that, three MVP awards (EBSL Superfinal, Bahamas Beach Soccer Cup and the Russian leagues) and you quickly begin to understand what this special player has contributed to beach soccer over the last 12 months. On receiving his award from Ramiro Amarelle, the Spanish number ten stated, “I will never forget this day.” Llorenç continues to spearhead Joaquin Alonso’s team, and his silky skills and ruthless hunger for goals have seen him take the global beach soccer scene by storm. There’s still a lot to come from this young player…


32 - THE INTERVIEW

“I TRY TO BE A ROLE MODEL FOR ALL THE GIRLS THAT WANT TO BE BEACH SOCCER PLAYERS” MARINA FEDOROVA

W

hen one thinks about the origins of the best beach soccer players in the world, few would consider the small city of Sevastopol in Russia. But when you think about the footballing blood running through her veins, you begin to understand where Marina Fedorova’s world-class talent comes from. Russian international in three different forms of football, Marina has amazed the world every time she has hit the sand. After reaching the highest level in women’s beach soccer this year, she sat down with BAREFOOT to discuss how she sees herself within the sport. What did you feel when you heard your name announced as the best player in the world? Many amazing emotions. To be in the top three was already very exciting. And when I heard my name, I was overjoyed…I did not expect it at all! I was very nervous before the ceremony, but when they announced my name, I felt huge relief. It was amazing to be on the same stage as the best beach soccer players in the world. At that moment I stopped worrying and started enjoying the moment. How do you see your role in the development of women’s beach soccer? What is the role you can play? I love beach soccer and obviously I want our sport to develop. I believe that the better we perform, the more girls will start to notice beach soccer and will want to try it. I’m always ready to help other girls to learn more about the details of the game and give advice when I can. I try to be a role model for those who want to try beach soccer. What were your first steps in beach soccer? I first started playing beach soccer in my hometown of Sevastopol when I was 10 years old. We lived on the coast, so in summer time we trained and played beach soccer all day and all night. Just like in Brazil (smiles). My dad is a football coach, he made a team with his own kids and taught us to play football and beach soccer. I also have an older brother and two younger ones. I believe that I’ve achieved what I have because of training with them and with boys in general. In 2014 my father became coach of a team called Olympic. We went to the Russian women’s championship and won gold medals right away. That was my first serious beach soccer tournament. Your brother Ostap is also a great player, and was named best player of the 2018 Alanya Cup. Is there any competition

between you two to see who is best? There is no competition at all. On the contrary, we support each other and are happy for the success of the other. Of course, sometimes we joke between each other, but in a kind way. I am very glad that Ostap is progressing, he made the Russian national team. When he received the MVP prize of the tournament in Turkey, I told him that now we need to set the next goal and become the best players in the world. We joked that it would be great if I was standing on the stage in Dubai, not with Llorenç, but with Ostap (laughs). But seriously, my award has become an additional motivation for him, he wants to work even harder to level my achievement (smiles). Who was the first to try beach soccer? We did it pretty much at the same time. Ostap was 12 then and I was 10. Do you sometimes train together? We used to train together all the time. Now it does not happen that often, but when we are at home at the same time, we still train together and keep ourselves in shape. I came to him Several times to train and practiced with his team. I like to train with Ostap, because it’s always fun. We have some of our exercises and contests. For example, whoever hits the crossbar more than once wins. Or whoever keeps the ball in the air the longest. Usually we place bets and the winner gets an ice-cream. Who wins more? Me of course! (smiles). You are also one of the best football players in the country. For you, what are the main differences between playing regular football and beach soccer? It seems to me that in beach soccer the role of the individual player is much more relevant. In regular football it is tough to get through the whole field on your own. In beach soccer you get more chances to shoot, to score. I like to show my individual skills, help my team and play attractive beach soccer. I don’t think that normal football and beach soccer are radically different, although, of course, each has its own characteristics. I have not decided which one I like more. I just love football in all its manifestations. What is it that you like most about beach soccer? I really like the atmosphere around the competition. Beach soccer tournaments always take place in nice sunny places, near the sea or the ocean. There is always music playing. And, of course, beach soccer itself is fantastic, there are many acrobatic elements and spectacular goals.


I train with my brother Ostap (Lokomotiv), and whoever wins gets an ice-cream�


34 - THE INTERVIEW

Tell us a little bit about your life… How is living in Moscow for a football player? As I have mentioned, I’m from Sevastopol originally and my home is there. But now I spend all my time on airplanes because I have a very busy schedule of competitions. I play for three Russian national teams at the same time: regular football, beach soccer and futsal. It’s hard to be on the road all the time, but I got used to it already. Moreover, I fully understand why I need to travel so much and be away from home. I like to play football, and I am glad that now I have this opportunity. When I get a chance to come home, I spend time with my family and friends, but at the same time I continue to train under my father’s guidance. What do you do besides football? Are you studying/ working? I understand the significance of higher education and I am planning to get a degree in coaching. In addition, I am now intensively learning English to make it easier to communicate with people abroad. As a child I didn’t understand how important this was, so now I’m trying to catch up. Hopefully, very soon I will be able to at least form simple phrases and understand people I talk to in English. How do you see your future in beach soccer? I am only 21 years old, so I don’t really think about the future. All my thoughts and aspirations are now connected with sports anyways. If we’re talking specifically about beach soccer, I would like to continue playing for the Russian national team and win all the tournaments we participate in. Next year we have to defend our title as European champions, as well as make our way to the World Beach Games and play in San Diego. In terms of more global goals, I would like beach soccer to be included in the Olympic program and then play represent Russia at the Olympics. What year could this happen? Let’s hope for Paris 2024… Well worst-case scenario, we’ll put a load of sand somewhere near the Eiffel Tower and start playing there! (smiles).


“I really want to see beach soccer at the Olympics. Hopefully in Paris 2024�

Champions Senegal and igeria will represent CAF in the World Cup

CAF BEACH SOCCER AFCON EGYPT 2018

THE FIRST STEP ON THE ROAD TO PARAGUAY!

S

harm El Sheikh, in Egypt, saw the journey to the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Paraguay begin early this December. The CAF Beach Soccer Africa Cup of Nations, besides crowning the reigning side of the African beach soccer panorama, served once again to discern which teams would represent the African continent and secure a place in the coming World Cup in Asunción. The semi-finals of the competition was where the first two qualified teams for the global showpiece were to be decided, and this year saw some similar faces make the cut. Hosts Egypt would take on the Nigerian Sand Eagles on Wednesday the 11th, and defending champions Senegal would battle Morocco in the second semi-final, held on Thursday the 12th. And the outcome was a familiar one, too, although, on this occasion, the fight between the Pharaohs and the Nigerians became a 17-goal, breath-taking battle, only decided with, literally, 19 seconds to go. In that moment, Abu Azeez, on the very day that he scored the 100th goal for his national team, confirmed that he was the Egyptians’ worst nightmare, and fired home his fourth of the day to give his nation the first of the tickets to the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup that were up for grabs. The day after, Morocco and Senegal squared off in the battle of the Lions for the second berth awarded to CAF’s region, with the latter making their ambitions to compete in Paraguay quite clear. A 6-0 run during the first two periods became too much to cope with for the Magreb side, who could do little more than dent their opponent’s dominance with two goals. In the joust for the African throne, Senegal and Nigeria, who had already collided in the opening game in the competition, provided yet another instalment of an old African rivalry. The final was not as fiercely contested as the first match had been, and the Lions of Teranga fought bravely, taking down their opponents with authority. The final 6-1 result left little room for speculation, and Senegal retained their CAF Beach Soccer Africa Cup of Nations crown. In the match for third place, Morocco fielded a tight competition against hosts Egypt, who snatched the bronze with a narrow win. Madagascar ended the tournament in fifth position after edging Cote d’Ivoire, so the first six positions in the continent stayed exactly the same, as the had been two years earlier.

Vitoria upset their compatriots Vasco and Sampaio to snatch the cup


COPA LIBERTADORES

VITORIA DETHRONE VASCO DA GAMA!

E

sporte Club Vitoria caught everybody by surprise and seized the South American club crown in the Copa Libertadores Fútbol Playa held in early November at the Parque Olímpico in Rio de Janeiro. The rubro-negro were definitely the least expected to clinch the title out of the Brazilian teams in the competition. Two-time champions Vasco da Gama, and a Sampaio Correa packed with Brazil National Team players, were most people’s favourites to seal the crown. Just one of the men coached by Gilberto Costa, Nelito, became the hero for Vitoria in the final, as four goals made sure that his team would, at least, be fighting all the way until the penalty kick shootout in a game which ended as an 8-8 draw after extra time. From the 9-meter mark, the rubro-negro goalkeeper, Thiago, was the difference, denying Bokinha’s first attempt to give his side an early advantage. Old rockers Anderson and Sidney would not miss their call, sealing silverware for Vitoria for the first time ever. The Bahiano side were no strangers to the penalty kick roulette, as this was the very same way they made it to the final. In the

semi-finals, Vitoria upset compatriots Sampaio Correa from the penalty spot, thanks once more, to goalkeeper Thiago, who put in a terrific performance. The likes of Bruno Xavier, Datinha, Rodrigo, Eudin or Filipe were not enough to stop the energy and experience, of the rubro-negro, who managed to stay afloat during the whole regular time to reach the penalty kick shootout. Sampaio Correa, made the all-Brazilian podium, following a narrow 5-4 win over Argentinean contenders Acasusso in the match for the 3rd place. Most probably, the bronze was not what Sampaio Correa had in mind ahead of the competition, but after being surprised by a clinical Vitoria, that was the best they could get. Besides Vitoria, Vasco da Gama, Sampaio Correa and the Buenos Aires-based CA Acassuso, the other teams in the competition were CN Puerta del Lago (Paraguay), Delfin SC (Ecuador), CD La 25 Export (Colombia), Hamacas FC (Bolivia), CD Iquique (Chile), Academia Tito Drago (Peru), CA Bella Vista (Uruguay) and Monagas Difalo (Venezuela).

SEASON 2019

LAUNCH THE NEXT SEASON OFFICIALLY LAUNCHES IN DUBAI!

T

he coming year looks bright for beach soccer. New developments, new competitions and new participants promise to make 2019 the busiest year of beach soccer ever.

During the Huawei Intercontinental Beach Soccer Cup in Dubai, the 2019 Season Launch was hosted, as many of beach soccer’s biggest names, including coaches, players and stakeholders, were already in the city for the tournament, the turnout was high. The launch took place in the Grand Millennium Hotel in the Business Bay area of Dubai on the 10th of November. Various exciting announcements were made and, of course, the grand revelation of the beach soccer calendar for the coming year. Addressing the packed conference room were Josep Ponset (Head of Competitions at BSWW), Gabino Renales (Deputy Vice-President

of BSWW) and Joan Cuscó (Executive Vice President of BSWW). Mr. Ponset got the event underway by revealing the calendar for the BSWW Tour events, which included – as of yet to be 100% confirmed - events in Saudi Arabia, California, Mexico, Portugal and Nigeria. He then discussed developments in the ways that teams are ranked as well as revealing the ranking of Women’s National Teams in Europe, adding that “next year, we hope to release the World Ranking of Women’s National Teams.” Mr Renales then cleared up some slight alterations to the Euro Winners Cup, including the change of name of the preliminary qualification stage, which, in 2019, will be known as the Euro Winners Challenge (previously, Nazaré Beach Soccer Cup).


“We also want to increase the level of participation”, commented the Deputy Vice-President. “There will be more teams competing than ever.” He then went on to introduce the concept of the World Winners Cup, a new club event to take place in Turkey… “Following an event which took place this October, we feel that Alanya, Turkey is the perfect place for the World Winners Cup, to take place September 23rd until the 29th.” The event will bring together the world’s best club teams who will do battle for an ultimate global title. Then it was the turn of Joan Cuscó to share some words on various topics including the potential introduction of VAR into

beach soccer, the FIFA Workshop planned for early 2019, and of course, the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in Paraguay. To close the meeting, the schedule for the whole season was unveiled to the eager audience and mobile phones flew into the air to take a snap of the calendar on the screen which, as the people gathered were warned, is still subject to change depending on the happenings in the coming year. The final outcome of the meeting was highly positive. After four hours of discussion and exchange of information, beach soccer as a whole was once again reinforced. The spirit of these meetings, which will keep taking place in the coming seasons, showcased once again that the growth of beach soccer, of our sport, our life, is a matter of team work.

WOMEN’ S BEACH SOCCER

2019: THE YEAR O THE WOMEN’S GAM


019 will see up to five nternational women’s top-class events

F ME

A

s the interest and reach of beach soccer spreads across the world, it is only natural that this development of the sport transcends genders too.

Since the first official female beach soccer tournament, which was the 2016 Euro Winners Cup in Catania, Italy, the development of women’s beach soccer has come a long way. Each year huge steps have been made as the interest in both the participation and the watching of women’s beach soccer increases with every new season. This coming year, Beach Soccer Worldwide will be organising at least five female beach soccer events. The first will be the Puerto Vallarta Cup in Mexico. The next will be in North America again, this time at the California Beach Soccer Cup. Then, moving over to Europe, there will be the World Beach Games, as well as the Women’s Euro Beach Soccer Cup for national sides, while the summer will also see the fourth edition of the Women’s Euro Winners Cup, with a record number of clubs set to participate. Women’s beach soccer is on the up and every year we have seen huge steps forward. The Beach Soccer Stars night in Dubai saw the second every Best Women’s Player of the Year prize be presented to the Russian talisman, Marina Fedorova. “It a very motivating step forward and I’m very happy that every girl in Russia can play beach soccer and that beach soccer is developing so much.” On top of that, Fedorova’s Russian teammate, Anna Cherniakova, as well as Brazilian star, Adriele, and the England number ten, Molly Clark, were all included in the Goal of the Year shortlist, which consisted of ten spectacular goals, scored by both men and women. The development of the women’s side of this great sport is something that Beach Soccer Worldwide, along with partners around the globe, will continue to work tirelessly on. It is incredible to witness the dramatic increase in the level and skill of the female teams and athletes involved and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for women’s beach soccer, and to expierience the key role they will have in the construction of the sport in these coming years.

EBSL 20TH ANNIVERSARY

TWO GOLDEN DECADES OF BEACH SOCCER


Alghero (ITA) hosted the last stage of the Euro Beach Soccer League


46 - SPECIAL REPORT

T

he Euro Beach Soccer League has become one of the best testimonials for the growth of beach soccer. In its 20-year history, the continental league has established itself as one of the most prestigious, consistent and comprehensive competitions on the beach soccer global stage. At the same time, it has been weaving a cross-continental fabric that has strengthened the links between territories, football associations, and players throughout Europe. And there are some pretty amazing numbers (yeah - we love numbers) to back up this claim. In its 21 editions, the Euro Beach Soccer League has travelled to 67 different venues visiting 22 different countries, and bringing top class beach soccer from to every corner of the continent; from Ireland to Azerbaijan, and from Turkey to Norway. Over the past two decades, the Euro Beach Soccer League has visited top European cities such as London, Moscow, Berlin, Rome, Lisbon, Baku, Minsk, Athens, Belgrade, Vienna, Istanbul, Marseille, Dublin, Kiev, Brussels, The Hague, Bern… Many of them have become regular Euro Beach Soccer League stages. Moscow, has hosted beach soccer events every single season, without fail, for the last ten years, and Marseille stand as the location to have hosted beach soccer events on most occasions (8), followed by another iconic place, and a favourite to many beach soccer players and coaches, Montecarlo, in Monaco. The building of champions In terms of champions, three teams share the honour of having won the Euro Beach Soccer League on the most occasions, as Spain, Russia and Portugal have five European titles. The Spaniards could have become the first ones to win it a record sixth time, but they were denied the opportunity by Italy in Alghero last September, as the Azzurri sealed their second ever continental crown. The Euro Beach Soccer League has not only crowned champions, but has also become the main stage where great players become legends. Names written in beach soccer’s history books have sealed their amazing legacy on the highest level, in the Euro Beach Soccer League. Madjer and Amarelle, seen by many as two of the best players in the history of the sport, offered epic battles on the European sand, and helped each other become bigger and better. But not by way of an aggressive rivalry like we see in other sports. In fact, these two stars are great friends, each respecting and admiring the other very deeply. We’re not sure the same can be said for the principal opponents in beach soccer’s biggest brother… Born in Monaco The Euro Beach Soccer League was conceived at the terrace bar of Le Meridien hotel in Montecarlo, when the promoters of beach soccer in Montecarlo, France, Italy, Spain and Portugal got together to change the format of the beach soccer competitions in Europe. In that meeting, Natalie Aubery (Montecarlo), Joel Cantona (France), Alex Colombo (Italy), Nicola Owen (Germany), Eric Steffen (Portugal) and Joan Cuscó and Santi Soler (Spain) met with the Graham family and Gabby Roe Kelly, from the Beach Soccer Company, to draw up plans for the future of the sport.


Montecarlo has always been one of the preferred venues


48 - SPECIAL REPORT

That very day, a new era of beach soccer was born. “We understood that the sport needed a change. We were no longer satisfied with the format of the competitions in Europe at that point, and we wanted beach soccer to grow in Europe”, BSWW Executive Vice-president Joan Cusco explains. “We knew that the sport had a great opportunity to grow in Europe, and we designed a system in which the competition would travel across Europe, giving the countries the chance to play more and more”. In 1998, the Euro Beach Soccer League started walking, and it did so in Syracuse (Italy). That same year, the competition travelled to Budva (modern-day Montenegro), Alicante (Spain), Travemünde (Germany), Figueira da Foz (Portugal) and Montecarlo. The continental league was born. In that same year, there were three men down on the sand that are still competing at the highest level, and have not missed a single year of the competition: the Portuguese ace, Madjer, as well as two Spaniards that began as players and are now two excellent coaches: Joaquín Alonso and Nico. The sport, its quality, and the generally high level of the teams that play it, are strongly tied to the Euro Beach Soccer League. “I remember on the first matches, years ago, the level of the teams was way lower. There were not many competitive teams. And today, lots of teams can pose a serious threat. The level is much more balanced now” explains Joaquín Alonso, Spain’s National Coach. “Today, most of the players are beach soccer specialists, which confirms that the sports is truly evolving”, he added. Madjer also recalls one event in particular: “I remember one of my first events in the competition was in La Coruña, and it was an indoor event. The stands were packed, and the competition was full of former top-class football players which, without a doubt, helped a lot in the promotion of the sport in the early stages”. Madjer also remembers how the competitiveness of the teams helped the level of the sport grow, making Europe one of the most-developed places in the world. Another man that joined the beach soccer circus shortly afterwards - and is yet to leave it! - is Switzerland’s Angelo Schirinzi: “I remember watching beach soccer on TV, a game in Montecarlo, with Eric Cantona. I immediately fell in love with the sport! I flew to Montecarlo that very week, met with Joan Cusco and told him that Switzerland had to be part of this sport.” Having led the Swiss to their only European title in 2012, when asked to name his favourite event, Schirinzi could not decide: “there were so many… I remember Mallorca, with a wonderful stadium, many events in Italy, or the event in Hyde Park, in London… it is impossible to pick just one.” Before long, Schirinzi, and all the beach soccer fans all over the world will have more events from which to pick, as the beach soccer wave shows no signs of crashing anytime soon. After more than 1309 games in 21 editions, the Euro Beach Soccer League looks as young, vibrant and full of potential as ever, with the capacity to grow exponentially. The sport continues to bring new competitors, new venues, new countries and new stars to the stage, and it is clear that it will be doing so for some time to come.


Russia and Portugal (together with Spain) have won the most titles (5)

52 - THE INTERVIEW

“TAHITI WAS MY MOST SPECIAL MOMENT IN BEACH SOCCER” CHRISTIAN ZIMMERMANN

R

eferee Christian Zimmerman hangs up his whistle after 13 years. Dubai was where it all started for this referee and, fittingly, Dubai is where it all ended

The Huawei Intercontinental Beach Soccer Cup Dubai 2018 has finally come to an end. Old enemies clashed, giants were slain and past victors returned to claim the Intercontinental throne once more… But the event represented something quite different for someone who is often centre stage, but not necessarily in the limelight. Christian Zimmerman, one of beach soccer’s longest serving referees has, after thirteen years, finally tossed his last coin, brandished his last card and blown his last whistle. We couldn’t just let him slip away without getting a few words from him first, so, amongst the relative chaos of the closing moments of the event in Dubai, Christian took few moments to share some fond memories with Beach Soccer Worldwide, as well as his sentiments on leaving the sport… Sadly, this is your last event. How does it feel to be refereeing beach soccer games for the last time? Well, I have been in international tournaments for ten years now and I’ve had a great time. I feel that each tournament was special. How did you get into beach soccer? How and when did beach soccer knock on your door? Well, I was refereeing eleven-aside football in Switzerland. Not in the top division but close to the top division. And then, in 2005, Swiss beach soccer wanted to push the sport in Switzerland and they were searching for some referees who weren’t in the top divisions but not far off. I went to take part in a course and from the first minute I was – how can I put it – “hooked” on beach soccer. Tell us, what your first beach soccer games were like? Was it more difficult than you thought? Maybe you thought it was too quick? Well the first games were interesting. On my first day I refereed a friendly game, Switzerland against Germany, and it was very difficult because of course the rules were still quite new to me and the game was very quick, very fast. But yes, even though it wasn’t so easy I loved it. You have taken part in three FIFA World Cups: Dubai (UAE),

Ravenna (Italy) and Tahiti. Which one was the most special for you? The most special for me was definitely Tahiti. For many reasons. The players, the place, the people, the atmosphere. Of course, I also refereed the final so it was just great in every way. Not including the World Cups, tell us another place that was particularly special to you…. Oh, there are many different places. I remember the African World Cup qualifier in 2011 in Casablanca. It was so fun and so special. For me it was the first time I had been to Africa and it was very different to Europe and the World Cup. But special in a unique way. What will Christian Zimmerman be doing as of next week? Haha – good question. Next week it’s back to work! I will remain in the world of beach soccer, instructing and training new referees. I will help and push the young referees to get to the same level I have got to. I think that in beach soccer we also need to push the referees more to get to a higher level and this is what I will work towards. This is my new project for the future. You said you were going back to work – what is your current occupation? I am a project manager in a gas company, so dealing with construction. It very different to refereeing. And apart from beach soccer, do you have any hobbies? Painting, dancing, singing..? Yes, I like going into nature and being in the mountains. Of course, Switzerland is full of them, so I’m in the right place. I go hiking, I go snowboarding and now, in the winter, I will spend a lot more time in the mountains doing skiing as well. Where are you based in Switzerland? In Luzern. It is in the centre of Switzerland. If I’m not wrong, your first beach soccer event was the FIFA World Cup here in Dubai, and now your beach soccer journey ends here in Dubai. That’s correct yes. Like a circle, right? I started in Dubai and now I’m saying goodbye in Dubai – what more could you ask for?! …All that remains is to wish Christian the very best of luck for the future and to say thank you for the devotion to beach soccer and doing excellent job – you will be missed!

54 - QUARTERLY REVIEW

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL BEACH SOCCER FOUNDATION CLINIC TAKES PLACE IN DUBAI

D

eveloping beach soccer in young people and giving back to the communities that we visit, are two of our main objectives as an organisation, and as a beach soccer family.

Of course, we couldn’t miss the opportunity to do both of these things during one of our flagship events, the Huawei Intercontinental Beach Soccer Cup in Dubai. What better way to use a top of the range beach soccer stadium than inviting some local youngsters to test out their own skills on the sand guided by the experts. Some of beach soccer’s best-known faces came together to give a group of local kids advice the sport, some cool tricks and just to have a lot of fun.

The likes of Ozu, from the Japanese selection, Amarelle, former professional and now the coach of the Chinese national team, as well as, the Executive Vice-President of Beach Soccer Worldwide, Joan Cuscó, went down, bright and early, to Kite Beach where the Huawei Intercontinental Beach Soccer Cup Dubai 2018 was taking place during that week.. They spent well over an hour teaching the children some key beach soccer moves, such as shooting, dribbling on the sand – which is not as easy as the pros make it look! - and, even goalkeeping. The organisation which was invited to the Beach Soccer Worldwide Clinic was the Al Noor Training Centre for Children with Special

Needs, which is based there in Dubai. A spokesperson from the centre said that “sports is a very important part of these children’s well-being and learning.” She went on to state that “this is the reason that they have sports in the curriculum and we take them out and involve them in the community to make them independent.” “That’s our mission” she added, “to make them independent. They are extremely excited to come here, and when they go back to school they tell everyone about what they did.” There was also time to catch a few words from the Beach Soccer

Foundation Director, Santi Soler. “It has been a great day.” he stated. “We’ve welcomed Al Noor Training Centre once again and made another successful training session for them. I think they had a lot of fun and the clinics are always a great pleasure for us as a team where ever we go in the world, but especially here in Dubai.” After the training drills, there was time for a final match, and then an official photoshoot with their favourite players as well. What a way to put some smiles on faces. Freebies in hand, out of breath, very sandy, but over the moon, the children filed out of the stadium happily chattering away to each other about the experience.

MADJER AND AARO CLARKE RELEASE BEACH SOCCER FITNESS SERIES

wo of beach soccer’s biggest names have joined forces to produce a beach soccer series to help fans and players alike to improve their fitness and technique.

Do you have aspirations to be a pro, or simply up your beach soccer game?

So, we made these tutorial videos.” The series could be a really helpful way to boost the popularity of beach soccer, as well as improve the ability of the people who already practise the sport – on whatever level. “Day 1 is really easy of course, with just a basic workout and then, around week two or three, you get to juggling the ball and learning “the flick” for example.” he explained. “People don’t realise the work that goes in and the fitness required in beach soccer.”

But how did this project come about? “Madjer and I get a lot of people and young kids messaging us on

“I’ve given the videos to a lot of the young players who want to break into the England squad. And they are downloadable on your

to present to young players, pros and coaches to make them as appealing and understandable as possible”

When Aaron was asked who would be a good candidate to collaborate with in this project, he knew exactly who to call. They guy he has learnt a lot from.

The beach soccer course is split into three sessions per week, and lasts for four weeks. There are 12 episodes in total, each one lasting around 40 minutes. So it is something everybody can try and is appropriate for all levels..

“Of course, I thought of Madjer straight away.
