England Beach Soccer Association signs memorandum of understanding with The FA

London, UK — 10 12 2025

The England Beach Soccer Association (EBSA) is proud to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with The Football Association (The FA).

This agreement will assist EBSA in helping to grow Beach Soccer at all levels.

EBSA will introduce in 2026 a new tiered pathway from county-level competition and club development through to international representation. This pathway will be open to players, coaches, and officials, and will be fully aligned with County FA requirements.

It will also support the continued delivery of England representative teams in Beach Soccer Worldwide and FIFA events.

“Our commitment is to ensure Beach Soccer is played in a safe, inclusive, and professionally managed environment,” said Luke Kerr on behalf of the Board of Directors. “This agreement reinforces our dedication to delivering structured opportunities for participation and progression, while upholding FIFA’s rules and regulations.”

EBSA will continue to work closely with Beach Soccer Worldwide to promote the sport not only within European leagues but on a global scale. “This acknowledgement is deeply meaningful to us,” said the EBSA Board of Directors. “It validates Beach Soccer as a credible alternative to traditional football and futsal whether in the off season or as a standalone pathway for coaches, players, and officials.”

As part of this agreement, EBSA will help deliver on participation, development, and international impact. EBSA looks forward to working to ensure Beach Soccer continues to thrive and inspire across all levels of the game.
