MEDIA GUIDE
ACCREDITATION. CAF’s and BSWW’s intention is to allow all members of the media to enjoy the best working
conditions, and the accreditation system and timetable are an important part of this. An accreditation grants access
to areas in the stadium that are relevant to the media.
When inside the stadium, the member of the media must always carry a passport or identity card, and the
accreditation must be visible at all times. Every accreditation for the CAF BEACH SOCCER AFRICA CUP OF NATIONS
- EGYPT 2018 remains a property of the Organizing Committee and can be withdrawn at any time
PHOTOGRAPHERS ZONING. Only members of the media, who are accredited as photographers and are wearing
the provided coloured bib, are granted access to a determined set of zones inside the stadium (marked with ).
MEDIA
Photographers and cameramen are not entitled to take pictures from any of the stands, other than the Media
Seats.
Photographers/cameramen who necessarily need to work in the VIP tribune (i.e. partners photographers) have to
be wearing a different accreditation (VIP, All access...) and a different bib.
MEDIA TRIBUNE. Press/Media accredited persons may watch CAF BEACH SOCCER AFRICA CUP OF NATIONS -
EGYPT 2018 matches from the media tribune. Let us remind you that carriers of press accreditation are not
allowed into the photographer zones.
MIXED ZONE. After each match, and on request, the BSWW media officer in charge will accompany players and
coaches of both teams to the mixed zone. Access to this area is restricted to Press/Media accreditation carriers. No
interviews can be held inside the pitch, especially between matches.

MEDIA GUIDE
Beach Soccer is a beautiful combination of football, a party, amazing scenery and exciting
action. A smaller field and unlimited substitutions, mixed with the unpredictable nature of the
sand, creates an exquisite form of play that energizes spectators and players alike.
Goals, goals, and goals.
The unique acrobatic goals are unlike any other sport and, add to that the music and lively
atmosphere, then you have the most popular sport on sand.
In a sport born on the magnificent sand of Copacabana beach, the only result could be an
explosion of excitement that rivals the beauty of the Brazilian beaches. Three fast-paced 12
minute periods lend themselves to action galore, and overtime along with penalty shoot-outs
always determine a winner. Never a tie. Creativity is a must for this highlight filled game that
glorifies individual feats and demands perfect teamwork.
The game has been modeled to accommodate the fans, evidenced by crowds of people
standing in lines before sunrise just to get a glimpse of a championship match. The
exponential growth of the sport has lent itself to the biggest businesses wanting a part of the
worldwide advertising, in an extremely short amount of time.
Despite all that, no sport or other kind of expression would have any future if it did not raise
a great media interest. And Beach Soccer is a media-friendly sport as no other. Its
competition format is absolutely suitable for TV, with a match structure that perfectly fits a
one-hour broadcasting cluster, with three breaks, warranting a concentrated, easy-to-take
and easy-to-understand dose of action. Today, beach soccer action reaches more than 250
million households globally.
Aimed at inclusion, fair play, and vivacity, the rules were set forth by Beach Soccer
Worldwide and its partners, including FIFA, to bring the game to the entire world, to all six
FIFA Confederation zones. That is just the beginning for a sport that encourages and sees
play in over 130 countries from men, women, and children.

MEDIA GUIDE
BECOMING PART OF FIFA
What began with Octagon Koch Tavares gaining interest from the immediate success of the
World Championships has now morphed into the most popular game on the beach to include
national leagues all across the globe, as well as prestigious international events as the
European Beach Soccer League or the Intercontinental Cup, in addition to the FIFA Beach
Soccer World Cup, held every two years.
In May 2005, the first-ever FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup was staged on Copacabana Beach
in Rio de Janeiro. To everyone's surprise, France defeated Portugal in the final, while heavy
favourites and hosts Brazil fell in the semis, in what still stands as one of the biggest upsets
that they have ever suffered. From that moment on, five more FIFA Beach Soccer World
Cups have backboned the evolution of the sport.
After the first three editions (2005, 2006 and 2007) showcased at the sport's birthplace,
Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro, the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup started journeying
across the world. Marseille in 2008, Dubai in 2009, Ravenna (Italy) in 2011 and Tahiti in
2013 have hosted the biggest Beach Soccer festival, which is now held biannually due to the
exponential growth of the teams involved in each different continental qualifier.
Becoming a FIFA member gave Beach Soccer the support to jump onto the World’s Sport
Olympus, and since that first step on the Copacabana Beach in 1992, Beach Soccer has
grown steadily and it has already reached its maturity, taking a prominent place in the
worldwide sports panorama.
MORE THAN JUST A GAME
No other sport is as marketing friendly or popular with the media, due to its simplicity,
acclaim, and all of that leads to limitless television commercial opportunities. Football
Federations, the press, fans, and athletes have all latched onto this sport of finesse, power,
and energy. The party style events, showcasing celebrities and professional athletes from
other sports, and growing interest from avid fans and casual viewers alike means that Beach
Soccer will not be slowing down at all.

MEDIA GUIDE
The CAF Africa Beach Soccer Cup of Nations Egypt 2018 is set to return in December 2018,
and will take place in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.
The competition will run from the 8th to the 14th of December, and will act also as a
qualification to the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup 2019, which, as Beach Soccer Worldwide
announced last week, will take place in Paraguay.
The winners and the runners-up of the CAF Africa Beach Soccer Cup of Nations 2018 will
qualify to compete in Paraguay.
The eight confirmed teams were split into two groups in a draw held in the Egyptian capital,
Cairo, yesterday (Sunday 28th October).
In Group A are hosts, Egypt, Morocco, Côte d'Ivoire and 2015 competition
winners, Madagascar.
In Group B are the two most successful teams in the competition, reigning
champions, Senegal, and two-time winners, Nigeria, as well as Libya, and
debutants, Tanzania.
The tournament will start with a bang when the continent’s most successful national teams,
Nigeria and Senegal, go head to head in the opening match on the 8th of December.
Just a month or so after competing in the Huawei Intercontinental Beach Soccer Cup in Dubai,
hosts, Egypt, will open their campaign against Morocco on day one, recreating the third-place
play-off of the last edition. Meanwhile, Libya will kick things off against new boys, Tanzania.
The draw represents something of a baptism of fire for Tanzania, as, having never competed
in the CAF Africa Beach Soccer Cup of Nations before, will have to face both Senegal and
Nigeria in their fight to make it out of the group stages.
Who do you think will make it to the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in Paraguay?
