On September 9th and 10th took place the 2nd edition of the Sahara Beach Tchoukball Festival –Tunisia in Monastir, Tunisia. The tournament was played on the beach of Monastir, and it was an absolute pleasure to see the many different teams from all over Tunisia in the game, representing all regions of the country. In addition, the match had several international guests, with other teams from Geneva and a team from Dubai UAE, led by Julio Calegari, originally from Brazil. For the international guests, it was the opportunity to experience the warm welcome of the Tunisian hosts.

Ms. Erika Mesmer
She is a player and trainer in Switzerland. Ms. Erika met with Mr. Ummar Abbasi during the tournament of the Tchoukball Festival in Monastir, Tunisia. She talked about the carrier of Mr. Ummar, and he started to promote the Geneva Indoors to him. Very quickly, he interrupted me by telling me: “Erika, I know the Geneva Indoors. I have been watching every single video of all the games. It is thanks to those videos that I have been able to make such good progress in tchoukball. I have been watching his way of playing to improve mine. And then I started to watch Yanis Bruhin and the players from Taiwan as well!”.
