Surely, every team seeks to end their dominance this weekend.
That sets up an exciting tournament this weekend. Additionally, there is a lot to play for in this year’s Beach Soccer National Championship as the prize money has been increased.
Beach Soccer Association (BSA) General Secretary Frank Chisambula said the increase in prize money had added flavour to the tournament.
“With the increase in prize money, we expect a highly competitive tournament. Every team will be fighting hard to get the top prize,” Chisambula said.

The tournament would be a good opportunity for Malawi Beach Soccer National Team coach Willy Kumilambe to select players ahead of this year’s Cosafa Beach Soccer Championship later this year.
Kumilambe said he was hoping to select the best players for the team.
“We need to select players for the national team based on merit. As such, the competition is very important,” Kumilambe said.
