Tobago camp for TT beach soccer men

Under head coach, American-born Benny Astorga, the team will be joined by several world-rated Beach Soccer players during the Tobago training camp.

The TT team will also enter a residential training camp in Barbados and Guadeloupe before arriving in the Bahamas for the competition.

Astorga was in high spirits ahead of the team’s upcoming programme.

“So far preparations have been nothing short of amazing. We have received everything we requested from the TT FA to ensure that the team has the best possible preparations,” Astorga told TT FA Media.

“We are really looking forward to this training camp in Tobago because it will afford us the opportunity to play some games against some of the top beach soccer players in the world today and also they will be passing on their knowledge to us during this period.

“We have been together training for a lengthy period and now this next couple of weeks will be used to put the finishing touches on our team and getting ready for the qualifiers. We have a lot of experienced players who have been to the qualifiers in previous years and who have gained a lot of experience in foreign leagues,” Astorga added.

Among the European players who will be engaged in the training camp in Tobago include Ramiro Figueiras Amarillo who is the captain of the FC Barcelona Beach Soccer team and a FIFA Beach Soccer instructor, Spain Beach Soccer player Llorenc Gomez Leon and Italian Beach Soccer international Dario Ramacciotti.
