Goa to host next National Beach Soccer Championship!

The All India Football Federation’s Beach Soccer Committee held a meeting via video conferencing on Monday, March 4, 2024.

The meeting was chaired by Ganapati Palguna, and attended by Acting Secretary General M. Satyanarayan, Deputy Chairperson Jignesh Patil, and members S. Dhanasegar, K. Nizamuddin, Sanjay Meshack, and Mr. Upen Patel.

The Committee, in its first order of the day, appreciated the Goa Football Association for stepping up to host the next National Beach Soccer Championships.

Requests had come in from various Member Associations of the AIFF that the Federation provide some aid for them to acquire Beach Soccer equipment, which can be difficult to obtain. Taking this into consideration, the Committee suggested that the Federation reserve a part of its budget to not only help the various State FAs garner Beach Soccer-specific equipment, but also to train referees and coaches across the country about the game.

The Beach Soccer Committee also suggested that the various states, especially those in the coastal areas, be encouraged to hold their own Beach Soccer competitions to further spread the game across the country.
