Maldives consists of many beautiful beaches in the world. Many resorts of world class are situated in most of the islands. Sometimes I wonder and feel that it is ridiculous that there is no beach soccer competition in Maldives. At least the inter-resort competition should exist. The Ministry of Tourism can also use the "sport tourism" concept to boost the tourism industry in Maldives. International events can be held in any of the island resorts.
Beach Soccer (also known as Sand Soccer and Beach Football), is taking the sporting world by storm. Played on a sand pitch measuring 28x37 metres, it focuses on some of the most spectacular aspects of modern football: skill, agility and, above all, goals.
Beach soccer is now a truly global sport, with FIFA becoming the world governing body in 2005. Tournaments have teams from all around the globe, are sponsored by international brands such as Coca Cola and McDonalds, and attract plenty of beach soccer interest amongst its fans and followers. The last world cup (in France) was a huge success, drawing nations from all corners of the globe, and on top of that there was an average of over 8 goals per game!
The world of beach soccer has been dominated by Brazil, who have won each of the last 3 world cups. Teams from Portugal, Spain, Italy and France are also very good, and we now see teams from as far apart as England and Australia competing to a high standard. Down Under there are plenty of beaches, and although fans are usually more interested in horse racing Melbourne Cup betting, the beach soccer players are improving year on year. Similarly Italy, who were runners up in the last world cup, look set to improve in the coming years.
And the unique party atmosphere enjoyed by a beach soccer crowd is maintained during the three-minute breaks between periods, when music and bikini-clad dancing girls keep the entertainment flowing.
