CONCACAF & The Beach Soccer World Cup 2025

These US Beach Soccer Players to Watch have been instrumental in the U.S. team’s efforts to advance beyond the group stage at the Beach Soccer World Cup for the first time, showcasing the increasing strength and experience of American beach soccer.  Only time will tell if they will have the leadership now to be able to do it at the upcoming CONCACAF and more importantly at The Beach Soccer World Cup in Victoria, Seychelles in May 1st to 11th, 2025.  It will host 16 teams from 6 confederations.

CONCACAF will see hosts Bahamas (Coached by recent former USMNT coach Francis Farberoff), Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, Trinidad & Tobago, and our very own United States.  Out of these 8 teams only two will advance to The Beach Soccer World Cup. The usual suspects would see Mexico, El Salvador, and the USA fight it out, but any given game, you may be upset.

The group stage will see the United States face a tougher more well balance challenge than El Salvador and Mexico.  The US faces Panama, Bahamas, and Trinidad & Tobago.  All of which could put together a good challenge to the defending champions USA.  The first match for USA will take place on March 11, 2025, with the USA facing Trinidad & Tobago at the Malcolm Park Beach Soccer Facility in Nassau, Bahamas. US Beach Soccer players to watch will be critical to the outcome we desire.
