The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has officially announced that Senegal will be the host country for the 2026 Beach Soccer Africa Cup of Nations. This will be the second time the West African nation has been chosen to organize this prestigious event, having previously hosted the 2021 edition.
According to CAF’s announcement, the tournament will feature eight participating teams and will also function as the qualifying event for the 2027 Beach Soccer World Cup. The specific dates for the qualification matches are yet to be disclosed by CAF, but further details are expected in the coming months.
This decision reinforces Senegal’s growing reputation as a hub for beach soccer in Africa. The 2021 event saw Senegal perform strongly on home soil, and the nation will be eager to replicate that success in 2026. African teams will now gear up for the qualifiers, with the ultimate goal of securing a spot at the World Cup.
