All is now set for the second round of Nigerian Beach soccer holding at Nnewi, Anambra State from May 15 to 19th, 2024.
This marks a historic milestone as the South East state hosts the tournament for the first time with Kebbi Beach Soccer Club, Anambra Beach Soccer Warriors and Kada BSC participating.
Other participating teams in the event such as Jigawa GS BSC, Kebbi United and Nmanko Patigi BSC, would compete for bragging rights and Super Four qualifications, with the top four teams advancing to the next stage in Kaduna.
The Anambra Beach Soccer Association Board, inaugurated last year, has worked tirelessly to promote the rapid growth of beach soccer in the East. Their efforts have paid off, with the formation of a formidable team that impressed in their debut outing in Kebbi state earlier this month.
"A state-of-the-art Beach Soccer Arena has been constructed by the Anambra Beach Soccer Association Board, providing a world-class venue for the tournament. The four top teams will compete for the coveted prize in Kaduna, after the second round in Anambra state.
"The Nigeria Beach Soccer League 2024 is poised to be an electrifying event, with the best teams in the country vying for glory. Don't miss the excitement in Nnewi, Anambra State, from 15th to 19th May," a circular from the soccer beach stated.
