Words by Bala Ishaku
The buzz surrounding Copa lagos was already sky high as the first ever beach soccer tournament held in Lagos.
A 3 day tournament consisting of four teams (Nigeria,Brazil,England & South Africa), a music concert and a fashion show proved to be a very juicy recipe for some fun in the sun in a city itching to go as the holiday season was already in overdrive.
And I wasn't disappointed as it lived up to everything I expected & even more from the organisation, security & entertainment (the view from the presidential booth didn't hurt either).
I have to say a big thank you to the organisers Kinetic Sports for putting this together & can't wait for next year as it promises to be even bigger & better according to the organisers spokes person. It's going to comprise of more teams & more fun so see you there.
Here are some of images from the tournament & please remember to leave your thoughts.
