African soccer ruling body Confederation of African Football (CAF) has confirmed that up to eight teams have qualified to take part in the 2022 Beach African Cup of Nations scheduled for October 21 and 30.
Nigeria’s Super Sand Eagles who are making a return to the competition after missing out on the last edition, are among the teams pencilled for participation.
They picked the qualification ticket for this year’s edition without kicking a ball after their opponent Libya withdrew from the qualifier earlier this year.
Other teams listed are host Mozambique, Egypt, Morocco, Malawi, Madagascar, Uganda and the defending champion Senegal.
CAF further announced Mozambique as host nation for the tournament.
The Africa Beach Soccer Cup of Nations (BSAFCON) is the main championship for beach soccer in Africa, contested between senior men’s national teams who are members of CAF.
The winners of the championship are crowned continental champions.
The tournament also acts as the qualification route for African nations to the upcoming edition of the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.
