Afghanistan Football Federation (AFF) has launched its first ever beach soccer tournament in the hope of promoting the sport in the country.
We organized the event to institutionalize beach soccer in the country and to identify new faces for a national team and for a junior team, said head of Afghan beach football federation Rohullah Rastagar.
“These games are important for us and the games will help us to exchange experience among the players, the more we organize these games, the more we promote it among the people,” said Afghan beach soccer player Romal Dawoudzai.
The tournament will see twelve teams in two groups play against each other in a league system.
The two top teams will make their way to the first Kabul beach football games.
