The 2002 Beach Soccer World Championship was the eighth edition of the Beach Soccer World Championships, the most prestigious competition in international beach soccer contested by men's national teams, organised by Beach Soccer Worldwide, which ultimately came under the control of FIFA in 2005 and subsequently rebranded as the better known ''FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup''. The tournament continued to change its location, this time being staged for the first time at two venues, in Vitória, (Espírito Santo) and Guarujá, (São Paulo). In addition, the number of participating teams was reduced back to eight, as it was during the first three editions. Brazil beat defending champions Portugal 6–5 in the final to reclaim the title, winning their seventh crown in eight attempts. ==Organization== The format reverted back to how the competition was organised from 1995 to 1997. After three years as a twelve team tournament, the number of participants was reduced back to eight as it were originally, competing in two groups of four teams, with the top two teams progressing straight to the semi-finals. Despite the tournament being held in two locations, in reality only one match, the opening fixture between Brazil and Thailand, was staged in Vitória whilst the other fifteen were held in Guarujá. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2002 Beach Soccer World Championship」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
