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. It is becoming more and more maintstream. There aren't yet betting odds for it, but you can imagine it won't be too long before this happens.
The world of beach soccer has been dominated by Brazil, who have won each of the last 3 world cups and are always alive on the Football boards at www.partybets.com.
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.
Between 1995 and 2009, the Beach Soccer World Cup was an annual event. It is now held every two years. The first 13 tournaments were held in Brazil which is the spiritual home of the sport. Since then it has been in France and the UAE. Future tournaments are going to be in Italy and French Polynesia.
Brazil has won 13 of the 15 tournaments to date with France and Portugal winning the other two. They dominate the sport as they understand better than anyone else. It requires the patience of billiards with the luck of online slot games and the decision making of chess.
The sport has a rosy future and its massive growth to date is indicative of that. While it isn't at the height of the Champions League or Copa Libertadores it has carved out its own unique nice in the football landscape. And that is all anyone can ask for.
