The tournament, to be held from 1 to 11 May, will take place in Africa for the first time and will be the maiden FIFA competition to be staged in the Seychelles, an island nation located in the Indian Ocean. Following this year’s showpiece and on the back of the successful editions held in the AFC (Dubai), UEFA (Russia, Portugal), OFC (Tahiti), Concacaf (the Bahamas) and CONMEBOL (Paraguay) regions, FIFA will have taken this magnificent event to all six confederations in the space of just 12 years. Thirteen of the 16 participating teams have already qualified for this year’s instalment of the world’s premier beach soccer competition. The start of ticket sales marks the latest milestone in the run-up to the tournament.
