Beach Soccer Fans Headed For Seal Beach

Beach Soccer Comes to Seal Beach this Saturday and Sunday, May 2/3. The city  will host the Copa Cabana Beach Soccer’s 2^nd series of games this year. 

Beach Soccer has been around for over 30 years but has really grown in popularity during the last three years. Two weeks ago the Copa Cabana Beach  soccer teams played to over 4,000 fans in Oxnard.

The U.S. Beach Soccer national Team began training in Huntington Beach on April 2 under head coach Eddie Soto.  Of the 18 players called into that  camp, 12 will be selected to participate at the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.  The team will be vying for a spot at the 2009 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in Dubai from Nov. 16-22

Its estimated that over 5,000 will come to Seal Beach this weekend so city parking will be at a premium.

*The parking areas next to the piers will fill up early so if you want to park its suggested you arrive early in the morning. The east side of the pier has a lot of equipment and lumber stored for the boardwalk renovation so parking is greatly restricted.

*On Saturday teams should register 1/1/2 hours before their first game and remember to bring signed liability waivers for each player.

*Players should your schedules Thursday evening for late changes.
