THE Super Sand Eagles, Lebanon and the Netherlands will participate in the 2017 Copa Lagos Beach Soccer Tournament holding from December 8 to 10. The event which began in 2011, will witness an International Teams Challenge at the Eko Atlantic City.

Also, this year’s event will feature the Club Challenge that will consist of Pepsi Football Academy with the introduction of a Lagos selected Beach Soccer team and a variety of celebrity matches between ex-Internationals and popular Nigerian celebrities.

“The plan is to make Copa Lagos more than just a beach soccer event but to be a major spectacle that will put Nigeria on the global tourism space and promote a beach culture and lifestyle in Lagos,” Samson Adamu, managing director of Kinetic Sports revealed. More so, we plan ahead with the hope of staging the best ever beach soccer World Cup in the nearest future.”
