The Africa Beach Soccer Cup of Nations (BSAFCON) is the main championship for beach soccer in Africa,[1] contested between senior men's national teams who are members of the Confederation of African Football (CAF).[2] It is the sport's version of the better known Africa Cup of Nations in association football.
The winners of the championship are crowned continental champions;[3] the tournament also acts as the qualification route for African nations to the upcoming edition of the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.[2] Coinciding with the annual staging of the World Cup, the competition took place yearly until 2009; the World Cup then became biennial, and as its supplementary qualification event, the championship followed suit.
Senegal are the most successful nation having won the event seven times and are also the current champions. In terms of success in qualifying to the World Cup, again Senegal are the most outstanding nation, having qualified in nine out of eleven attempts; Nigeria follow close behind, with six qualifications.
