The Patio de Garlands of the Casa Colón has hosted this morning the presentation of this important event organized by the Club Deportivo Fútbol-Playa Huelva with the support of the Huelva City Council and the Port Authority. An appointment that once again turns the Huelva capital into the epicenter of sport.

For all these reasons, the City Council has wanted this phase of the National Beach Soccer League, which will be held in Punta del Sebo, to have municipal support, as it is also about a very attractive modality for the public, which will allow Huelva residents to enter the competitions typical of the summer season, which are also so important in Huelva.
For her part, the president of the Huelva Port Authority, Pilar Miranda, thanked “the Huelva Beach Soccer Federation and the Soccer-Beach Sports Club Huelva for holding the second phase of the national Beach Soccer league in a port area as emblematic as the surroundings of Punta del Sebo, next to the Monument to Christopher Columbus, since this competition will contribute to promoting this place, in addition to promoting the port’s approach to the city ”.
Likewise, Pilar Miranda highlighted the importance of “coordinating different administrations, social and economic agents, and different groups to develop joint work for the benefit of citizens.” Likewise, the president of the Huelva Port Authority has emphasized the outstanding role played by the Port of Huelva, as economic engine of Huelva and the region, in the creation of opportunities, wealth and employment, for the benefit of citizens “.

Likewise, this appointment is an incentive for many people to discover this modality and to see in action the Youth and Women’s Selection of Huelva, which will represent the city in the next Championship of Andalusia that will take place at the end of this month of June, as well as attending a grassroots game, such as the one that will face Recreativo de Huelva against Mentidero de Cádiz.
In this way, after the stoppage of last year due to the covid-19 restrictions, this year this appointment of the Professional Football League has been retaken again in Huelva, in its Beach Soccer branch, which was also held in Punta del Sebo in 2019. A competition that previously had a first phase in Malaga and that, after this weekend’s matches, will culminate in Cádiz.
