World Beach Games qualifying will also mark the debut of the U.S. Women’s Beach Soccer National Team.
Nine players return from the USA squad that reached the final of May’s 2019 Concacaf Beach Soccer Championship. There, the red, white and blue clinched its first FIFA Beach World Cup berth since 2013 in dramatic fashion, coming from behind to down El Salvador on penalty kicks in the semifinal match. With 13 goals, Nick Perera won the Golden Boot in Puerto Vallarta as the tournament’s leading scorer.
Four players have appeared in every Beach NT camp this year- Tanner Akol, Juan Cervantes, Oscar Reyes and Jason Santos.
