Dubai, March 17 / WAM / Walid Al -Muhammadi, captain of the UAE beach soccer team, confirmed that his choice as the ambassador of the Beach Football Committee of the International Football Association (FIFA) for the eighth year in a row reflects the game’s estimate in the Emirates and its international distinguished position.

He expressed his thanks to the International Committee for the renewed trust, noting that this honor holds a great responsibility to develop the game by organizing the championships and special exercises for the Sunni stages, in addition to motivating young men and women to practice it.

He stressed that the national team is currently holding a training camp in Thailand, in preparation for the eleventh Asia Satellite Cup, scheduled for Pattaya, Thailand from 20 to 30 March, which included strong friendly matches to reach the best readiness in light of the tournament qualified for the World Cup that will be held from 1 to 11 May in Seychelles.
Al -Muhammadi pointed out that the UAE national team, which leads the Asian and Arab rankings and is ranked sixth in the world, as one of the best positions in its history and has previously achieved it once in 2014, includes a group of new, distinguished young elements that joined after the last World Cup.
