Where and when will the competition take place?
The venue for the 2021 Beach Soccer World Cup will be Moscow. It is noteworthy that for the first time in the history of the tournament it will take place in Russia. FIFA chose Moscow for several reasons at once. Firstly, it was Russia that fully guaranteed the tournament from a financial point of view. Secondly, the 2018 FIFA World Cup was held at a high level quite recently. This prompted FIFA to entrust the country with such a grandiose event. Russia won the competition from Chile and El Salvador.

Participants and tournament format
The tournament will feature 16 of the best national teams on the planet. They are divided into four groups:
Group A
- Russia
- USA
- Paraguay
- Japan
Group B
- Mozambique
- Spain
- UAE
- Tahiti
Group C
- Belarus
- Salvador
- Switzerland
- Brazil
Group D
- Portugal
- Oman
- Senegal
- Uruguay
The group stage is held in one round. The top two teams from each quartet are sent to the playoffs of the competition. Then the national teams fight according to the Olympic system. The losing participant is eliminated from the fight for the main prize of the competition.
There are also quite interesting features of the tournament, since a serious scandal had already happened before its start. The Ukrainian national team was selected through the qualifying stage, and the players began preparations for the competition. But the national federation intervened and banned the players from playing on the territory of Russia. The reason for this was political differences between the countries. Therefore, the national team decided to voluntarily refuse to participate in the World Cup. Nobody began to force the national team to come to the tournament after all, so Switzerland took the vacant place.
The chances of the Russian national team to win
The Russian national team is holding another tournament under a neutral flag. This means that even at the home championship, the national team will perform without its own anthem. But such a situation should only push the performers to prove to everyone their superiority in the international arena. The wards of Mikhail Likhachev did not take part in the qualifying stage, since they are the organizer of the competition. In the entire history of the tournament, the national team took the main prize twice – in 2011 and 2013 it became the best on the planet.
The Russian national team fell into a rather simple group, so it shouldn't experience any special problems. She will fight the USA, Paraguay and Japan. The national team must calmly take the first place in the standings. In addition, group B also has not the strongest teams. The only serious obstacle on the way to the semifinals may be the Spanish national team. And only there Russia can cross with the main favorites – Portugal or Brazil. The national team can be safely expected to be in the top three, it should not be left without medals.
In which bookmakers to bet on the Beach Soccer World Cup?
One of the main questions for every bettor is the choice of a bookmaker that suits his needs. While the main event in the world of beach football is far enough away, it will not be possible to find the line of events. But you can choose one of the bookmakers that pay great attention to this sport:
- The Betting League bookmaker will traditionally focus on prematch and live lines, so it will delight you with high odds. All events appear in advance, which allows you to conduct a full analysis and choose the best option for a bet. You can always find statistical calculations on the site;
- Winline betting company almost always accompanies large championships with interesting promotions. Tournament events will also be included in X50. A game for 50 million. ” But the line is unlikely to be replete with many outcomes. Usually Winline focuses on the main betting options (outcomes, handicaps and totals);
- The Betcity bookmaker is almost the best option. First, it adds a wide line of long-term events where bets can always be found on group winners, medalists and grand prize winners. Secondly, the bookmaker is pleased with the odds both in the prematch and in the live-line.
