On behalf of the Bermuda Football Association, as Chairman of Futsal, Beach Football and Football Classic Committee, I would like to announce that BFA will be hosting the first ever Beach Football Tournament to be held in Bermuda.
The tournament will be held at Clearwater Beach, Southside, St.David’s, commencing Saturday, August, 9th, ending Saturday, September 6th. The tournament will consist of (3) divisions (Men’s, Women’s Open and U15 Open) with (10) teams representing each division. Teams will be allowed a roster of (20) players, but only (12) players will be allowed to dress for each game. During the (4) week tournament, games will be played (4) times weekly, Tuesday, Thursdays, Saturday’s and Sundays. Tuesday’s and Thursday’s matches will commence at 6:00pm to 8:30pm, while Saturday’s, will kickoff at 12 noon – 8:30pm and finally on Sunday’s, games will start at 4pm – 8:30pm.
To register for the tournament, entry forms can be picked up from the BFA office, or you can go online to www.Bermudafa.com (the new BFA website) under Beach Football. Registration deadline is August 6th, but remember that there is a limited amount of teams per division, so I would advise you to register early.
We will also like to inform the public that the BFA aim, is to have a Beach Football League established by the summer of 2009.
At this time, I would like to thank the Bermuda Land Development Company, and the Ministry of Youth and Sport, for all their assistance during the process of putting this project together.
Thank You
Lloyd Smith
Chairman of FBFC Committee
