The Italian beach soccer team has returned home after securing second place in the World Cup in Dubai, having lost in the final against Brazil. Tomorrow at 10 am, the Azzurri will reach the headquarters of the FIGC to be received by the federal president Gabriele Gravina. In the room named after Paolo Rossi, the team's silver medal-winning campaign will be celebrated. The Italian Football Federation made this known on its official website.
A month ago in FIGC, Gravina had already met the national beach soccer team to celebrate their European Championship victory and to wish the team good luck, hoping to see them also as protagonists at the World Cup. And Italy confirmed in Dubai that it is one of the most beautiful realities of this discipline: after first place in the group thanks to victories over the United States and Egypt and a painless defeat against the United Arab Emirates, the Azzurri beat Tahiti in the quarterfinals and overcame Belarus on penalties in the semifinals, only surrendering in the final against Brazil. Thus came the third silver medal at a World Cup, with Italy matching its best ever result after reaching the finals in 2008 and 2019.
