El Salvador captured its third Concacaf Beach Soccer Championship on Saturday, edging Guatemala 2-1 in a tightly contested final held on the sun‑kissed sands of Nassau, The Bahamas.
A historic milestone for the Salvadoran side
The victory, achieved at the Malcolm Park Beach Soccer Facility, underscores the growing strength of the nation's beach soccer program, which has now secured three regional titles in the competition's modern era.
Guatemala, the defending champion, fought valiantly, with a late strike that fell just short of equalising, but El Salvador's disciplined defense and clinical finishing proved decisive.
Concacaf's president praised the tournament's competitive spirit, noting that the final exemplified the rising standard of play across the Caribbean and Central American region.
Fans in both countries celebrated the match, which was broadcast live across the region and streamed to millions of viewers, highlighting the sport's expanding popularity.
