Southern California’s Largest Oceanfront Soccer Festival Set for Weekend of May 1 – 3, 2020
Oceanside CA— The 14th Annual Beach Soccer Championships, one of the largest beach soccer tournaments in the United States, announced on Monday that Frontwave Credit Union will become the official Financial Services sponsor of the event.
The festival draws over 10,000 participants and 50,000 attendees to the beaches of Oceanside during Cinco de Mayo weekend and includes a Professional division attracting some of the best beach soccer players in the world such as Nick Perera and Chris Toth of the US National Beach Soccer Team.
