Beach soccer is a variation of soccer in which the soccer match is played on a beach or on sand courts. Beach soccer emphasizes skill, agility and accuracy because the ball in the sand is difficult to control and moving on the sand is more difficult than other forms of competition. Beach soccer is less expensive, doesn't need a pitch, doesn't need shoes, just a wide sandy beach, a simple goal... everyone can play. Recently, there are many teams participating in beach soccer tournaments in 2 types: domestic and foreign football. For foreign beach soccer tournaments, there are 2 types: Continental beach soccer tournament (AFF Beach Soccer, UEFA Beach Soccer,...) and worldwide beach soccer tournament (FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup). At the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup, teams from other countries will be participating along with the host of the tournament. The tournament is divided into series as follows: The worldwide teams will be divided into 8 groups, each consisting of 4 teams. Each team in each group with the 1st place team plus the best 2nd placed teams will advance to the round of 16, followed by the quarterfinals, semi-finals and finally the final (2 teams losing in the semi-finals). The end will have to compete for 3rd place.
