Virginia Beach Tournament Pictures

After visiting the Virginia Beach World Sand Soccer Tournament in 2006 and witnessing the excitement, SoccerWorld decided it was time to see how the Canadians would stack up.

Soccer World and sponsers were proud to send such a great team of athletes to represent Canada in the tournament. The team was coached by Filipe Bento and consisted of Boris Cernic, Marc Jankovic, Mike Bialy, Joe Rini, James Bialy, Alex Braletic and Evan Milward. The team placed 5th, for their first time competing together as a beach soccer team and won $750.
The tournament drew over 9,200 players and 900 teams this June 6th-8th for the 15th edition of this sand soccer championship. Congratulations boys! You will have a chance to meet the team at the Wasaga Sand Blast tournament and we are inviting players to come out and have a chance to challenge them.

Sand Blast Tournaments Will Be Brought Together

The Toronto Sand Soccer tournament hosted at SoccerWorld has decided to join forces with Wasaga Beachfest and co-host the Wasaga beach Sand Blast tournament.

Both tournaments will now be held together as one in Wasaga August 24th-26th. SoccerWorld is excited to annouce this decision, as Wasaga beach will be hosting a live music festival with over 100, 000 expected to show.

In conjunction with the Barrie Soccer Club we are very happy to produce this major event. As a starter, on Friday night the tournament will kick off with a Celebrity/Sponsor mini-competition.

We look forward to having you join us for this spectacular weekend!
