The first ever appearance of a Beach Soccer Team from Gibraltar at an international tournament ended with a big surprise and an awesome result. The team of Gibraltar Wave FC finished the Women’s Euro Winners Cup 2022 on place 15th. We have left the local team from Nazaré behind us and the team from Amneville in France. Even before the last match against the French team it was already clear, that we will be better than 17th place.
Keeping in mind the Beach Soccer history of our club, when our club was funded and the available training facilities, nobody has expected this and dreamed about it before the tournaments.
Congratulations, to all players – especially Kelly, Kierra, Jennifer who improved the team with their experience and guidance – the coaches Ernest and Anthony and John for making this possible. We don’t want to forget Heiko and Elisabeth, who also contributed theirs to make the tournament a success for us.
We hope to be part of this event again in 2023 and we want to show that we can improve further until then.
