The Confédération Africaine de Football (“CAF”) President Dr Patrice Motsepe is happy with the development and growth of Beach Soccer in all 54 CAF Member Associations.
Speaking at the CAF Beach Soccer Africa Cup of Nations Egypt 2024 Final in Hurghada where Senegal claimed their record fifth title against debutants Mauritania, Dr Motsepe said it was important to encourage more African countries to play regular and competitive Beach Soccer in order to ensure that African Beach Soccer is globally competitive.
Senegal has won five of the last six CAF Beach Soccer Africa Cup of Nations tournaments.
Africa will be the centre of attention next year when Seychelles hosts the historic FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in May 2025.
Dr Motsepe said it is important that the quality and standard of African Beach Soccer is globally competitive.
CAF President Dr Motsepe also gave credit to hosts, Egypt who finished fourth in the tournament after losing to Morocco in the third and fourth play-off.
“On behalf of the 54 Member Associations of CAF, I express my gratitude to Egypt for hosting a very successful CAF Beach Soccer Africa Cup of Nations Egypt 2024. I congratulate Senegal for winning the competition and also Mauritania for reaching the Final on their first attempt. I wish Senegal and Mauritania all of the very best as they will be representing Africa in the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Seychelles 2025.”
