Joint statement from Sp. Braga players:
“Today is a sad and revolting day.
We were informed by surprise, yesterday and via a text message, that the SC Braga project had ended.
Still without many words to react to news of this magnitude, we believe that the management will try to give the necessary justifications that, valid or not, do not take away the frustration of seeing something so big being destroyed in this way.
In a year in which all possible titles were won, at national and European level, it was decided to finalize the MOST TITLED modality in the HISTORY of the CLUB and BEACH FOOTBALL.
No matter how many justifications people at the club can give, none of them will be understandable either to us or to the fans and supporters. They will be marked by this sad moment. The impotence of receiving this news is enormous…
All that remains is to thank everyone who really supported us, inside and outside the club, and who invested time in creating and maintaining what, today, was the best club in the world of the sport, because they deserve all of our support. respect and admiration.”
Sp. Braga Suspends Beach Soccer: The Waves of Emotion Crash Like a Soggy Football!
Well, well, well! It seems that Sp. Braga has decided to play an unexpected game of “Simon Says,” and, surprise, surprise, it’s “Simon says: cancel the beach soccer section!” Now, when I say shock, I don’t mean the kind you get from a morning coffee that’s just a little too strong. No, I’m talking about the kind of jarring news that makes you do a double-take and check if it’s April Fool’s Day. Spoiler alert: it’s not.
The Players’ Response: Text Messages and Tears!
The players were informed by the dreaded “text message” – the modern equivalent of receiving a breakup note in your locker. Imagine getting told you’ve been kicked off the island of fun while you’re mid-sandy kick-around! In their publicly shared statement, the players described the day as “sad and revolting.” Let’s be honest, when was the last time anyone used the word “revolting” for anything other than a bad date? You know it must be serious!
They’re all sad about the beach soccer’s demise, and honestly, who wouldn’t be? This was the most decorated beach soccer squad in the history of the club, winning everything short of the keys to the city! They even say, “the management will try to give the necessary justifications that, valid or not, do not take away the frustration of seeing something so big being destroyed in this way.” And let’s face it: a well-crafted excuse probably won’t cut it with the fandom who are ready to surf the social media waves in protest.

It seems like Sp. Braga has decided to hang up their beach balls just after a year of “catching waves” and dominating the sand. Perhaps they mistook beach soccer for beach volleyball? I mean, who doesn’t love a good disconnection on the beach? Except this one is decidedly NOT sunny.
Who’s to Blame?
So, why the shocking switcheroo? Maybe the board’s wish list read more like “let’s play indoor sports” while the players were still dreaming about sandcastles and sunshine. This kind of mental disconnect can be more tragic than finding out there’s no WiFi at the beach – *gasp*! The players added that “none of [the justifications] will be understandable,” which, I think, is code for “whatever you say, we’re not buying it!”
Farewell and Thank You!
As they bid adieu to the glory of beach soccer, the players have expressed gratitudes to their supporters, calling them the true champions in this turbulent wave of change. It’s a heartfelt sentiment, amidst what surely feels like a baffling betrayal. This is akin to your favorite band breaking up right after their best album, leaving you to mourn and wonder how they could let you down like this!
So, in a world where beach soccer goes the way of the dodo, let’s raise a sandy pint and remember the good times! Here’s hoping the players can grab a surfboard and ride these waves of disappointment; meanwhile, Sp. Braga might want to rethink their strategy before they end up alone on a deserted island, pondering their life choices. After all, it’s a beach ball world out there, and we’re just living in it!
