Bahrain’s national beach soccer team lost to Oman 1-3 yesterday in their final preliminary round match at the Neom Beach Soccer Cup, held as part of the Neom Beach Games 2022 in Saudi Arabia.
After a goalless first period, the Bahrainis’ lone goal was scored in the second when they fell behind 1-2. Then, they conceded another goal with seven minutes still to play in the third and final period.
The nationals tried to fight back until the final whistle, but were unsuccessful. It was their third straight loss at the Neom Beach Soccer Cup. They had earlier bowed to Brazil 1-8 before losing to Japan 2-6.
The Bahrainis have one more game to play today against a to-be-determined opponent to seal their final classification in the eight nation tournament.
The other teams in the competition are England, Paraguay, the UAE, and hosts Saudi.
The Neom Beach Games 2022 are bringing together leading world-class sport events with high-performance athletes from over 25 countries, as the region aims to become a hub for sport.
