The anticipation for the 2025 Beach Soccer World Cup is palpable following the 2024 edition last February. Sports enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the thrilling Beach Soccer next matches set to take place next year.
The 2025 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup will be held in Mahé Island, Seychelles, in May. It is the first time an African country has been awarded hosting rights for a FIFA tournament. Seychelles is famous for its crystal-clear waters and beautiful reefs, promising a scenic background for beach soccer matches.
Each region will hold its own competitions to determine the 16 teams qualified for the next world championship.
The African teams competing for the “World Champion” title will compete in the CAF Africa Beach Soccer Cup of Nations in Egypt as the qualifiers. Meanwhile, the UEFA European qualifiers will be held in Andalucia this October.
Other continents seem to plan to hold their qualifiers next year. Asia will pick its representatives through the AFC Beach Soccer Asian Cup, while Oceania will have the OFC Beach Nations Cup.
Central, North American, and Caribbean countries will fill their slots through the CONCACAF Beach Soccer Championships. Meanwhile, South America will select the best teams by holding the Copa América de Beach Soccer.
Although the competition is still far ahead, several teams are already being picked as the favorites to win the 2025 Beach Soccer World Cup.
As beach soccer’s origin, Brazil proved its worth by securing its sixth world champion title this year. The Brazilian beach soccer team also retained its place at the top of the Men’s BSWW ranking for national teams.
The team has some incredible technical players under the new coach, Marco Octávio. The team plated a new system (1-2-2) but successfully got the best results in the 2024 Beach Soccer World Cup.
Rodrigo Soares de Costa shines as the Brazil squad superstar. He scored a hat-trick for his team in the final match against Italy. It’s his second World Cup with Brazil, cementing his status as a top player.
With the team’s progress, even with a new strategy, their good performance in the next beach soccer tournament is expected.
As the 12th FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup runner-up, Italy is another favorite contender to win the next one. Italy was the European champions after defeating Spain in the 2023 qualifiers.
The team showed a fantastic performance throughout the 2024 World Cup. It overturned two-goal deficits to advance from both the quarter-finals and semi-finals.
Italy also had a rising star, Josep Jr, who played exceptionally well in the tournament. He was even hailed as Italy’s most important player by fellow teammate Gianmarco Genovali. The team has good teamwork after one month of rigid training before the World Cup.
The team has a balance between youth and experienced players, making their play tactically diverse. In the last tournament, Italy showcased versatility in its game plans and match strategies, making them hard to predict.
Belarus broke expectations with their performance in the last World Cup in Dubai. The team dominated the group stage, with the most combination attacks.
It was revealed that the squad had a very good training camp before the tournament. The training paid off well as they won all three group stage matches and qualified past the group stage for the first time.
This remarkable result is due to the team’s solid structure, excellent physical conditioning, and high level of organization. Ihar Bryshtsel stands out on the team as he scored a hat trick against Portugal, bringing Belarus to the semi-finals.
Despite their controversial presence due to Belarus’s role in the Ukraine-Russia War, FIFA has no ruling on Belarus. If they continue to improve, one should anticipate their force in the next tournament.
