Beach Soccer is a fast-paced version of traditional soccer played on sandy beaches. Each team consists of five players, including a goalkeeper, and matches are typically played in three 12-minute periods. The game emphasizes skill, agility, and teamwork, as players must navigate the soft surface while trying to score goals. The sport is governed by the Beach Soccer Worldwide organization and has gained popularity worldwide, with numerous tournaments held annually. Players often showcase impressive tricks and acrobatics, making the game visually exciting. FIFA also recognizes beach soccer, promoting its growth and development on an international level.
