Kebbi BSC defeated host Kada BSC 4-3 in extra-time to emerge champions of the maiden edition of the Nigerian Beach Soccer League (NBSL) season. Kebbi,
Kebbi, Kada, Smart City and Kwara beach soccer clubs finished among the top four from the eight-team inaugural league season following three round-robin meetings in Lagos, Kebbi and Kwara respectively to converge in Kaduna for the Super 4 to determine the overall first ever champions.
According to him “Being the champion was not easy, we are not the best, but God made it possible for us,” the Supersand Eagles player told“To achieve this, we put our strength. We are prepared for more challenges to come as we will not relent as we train, be at our best always. I cannot express the joy I have right now, because this is the first time this ever happen in Nigeria.
Hosts Kada narrowly missed out on the title as they finished second behind champions Kebbi but Kaduna Beach Soccer Association chairman Engineer Musa Nimrod takes away a lot of positives. While reviewing the successes and challenges of the inaugural season, elated NFF executive member and Nigeria Beach Soccer Association chairman Honorable Suleiman Yahaya-Kwande reinstated his leadership’s drive in improving the fortune of the sport in the country.
“When we stopped the Sand Eagles, it was because we weren’t having a beach soccer league so the players were gotten from normal football and now that we have a Beach Soccer league, I am sure by the time we’ve played a couple of seasons, NFF will consider bringing back the national team for international competitions.”
