Aug 28th: Beach Football Tournament To Be Held
The Bermuda Football Association will be hosting a Beach Football Tournament on Sunday, August 28th at the Horseshoe Bay Beach. The tournament will kick off at 11:00 am with group stage matches. All teams will progress into either a championship or consolation bracket.
The BDA said, “The beach form of the sport continues to grow worldwide, especially throughout the Caribbean. The BFA hopes to use this tournament to gauge the level of interest in the sport in Bermuda.
“We hope it will develop into a thriving summer league and hopefully a national programme to compete in future CFA and CONCACAF tournaments. Our island home is a perfect setting for the short sided game and the fast paced nature of the game will hopefully entice both players and spectators to attend the event.
“The tournament will be limited to eight teams on a first come first served basis. The games will be five a side and will consist of fifteen minute halves. Each team will be provided shirts for the tournament. Entry for the tournament will be $100 per team.
“Registration can easily be completed by filling out the registration form and paying the entry fee. Forms can be physically collected at the Clyde Best Centre of Excellence or online at bermudafootball.com. Registration is open to all teams. Players must be 16 years of age or older.
“The BFA is extremely pleased to be partnering with the successful Live Free movement for this tournament. All proceeds of the tournament will be donated to the Live Free Scholarship Fund in memory of Jason Smith.”
Sounds like fun!
