Copa Lagos Beach Soccer

Copa Lagos Beach Soccer, is the first ever international beach soccer event to take place in Nigeria and in all Sub-Saharan Africa. Founded in 2011, Copa Lagos is organised under the scope of BSWW World Tour and will take place every year in December, in Lagos, Nigeria. The competition is played in a Round-Robin format (League Format), allowing in this way the opportunity for each team to prove themselves against all participants during three days of competition. Copa Lagos is broadcasted in 21 international channels (Eurosport, Al-Jazeera, ESPN, Sky Sport, Canal Plus, Supersport, among others) and in one national partner channel AIT. Copa Lagos also aims to have a strategic role in development of beach soccer in Nigeria. In this context each edition of the competition will offer Beach Soccer Clinics and certified Refereeing and Coaching workshops. Copa Lagos Beach Soccer is plainly aware of its social responsibility and, together with the BSWW Foundation, is officially extending its commitment to way beyond the sand pitch. Copa Lagos is keen on making a difference through the development of social action, which will embrace 3 major concerns: Environment protection through awareness, recycling; Children/youth development through the sport; and, Skin cancer awareness. Beach soccer fans will be offered a varied range of activities, fashion shows and enthusiastic parties and concerts, which will bring rhythm and passion to one of the most populous cities in Africa.
