The African Beach Soccer Union President, Alhaji Mahmud Hadejia, informed the media. He described it as a positive development for Beach Soccer in Africa, demonstrating the continent’s progress in the sport.

“Well I think is a welcome development just like I said the beach soccer is moving in the right direction. The coming together of the African Beach Soccer Union in 2020 is something which I think is a good thing for Africa.

“And we made a commitment in our last AGA in December last year to host the first African beach soccer union competition so that we will have regular competitions in Africa because we lack them and by God’s grace African beach soccer union has given Nigeria the hosting rights and we are working closely with kaduna state government through the ministry of sports development to see how we can make that possible kaduna now has a sitting beach soccer stadium one of the best we have in Africa if not across the world I can confidently say that.

‘’We have wonderful facilities there that can host world championships,and we want to make use of that facilities and our African brothers and other teams coming here to have such competition in Nigeria.”
