The aim of the Qatar Marine Festival is to celebrate Qatar’s rich maritime tradition and how the country’s past shapes not only its present, but also its future.

The Festival Committee was very satisfied with bossaball’s participation at last year’s edition of the Qatar Marine Festival and therefore decided to include bossaball again in the second edition that took place between the 16th and the 26th of March 2011 in Doha.

A total of 150.000 visitors attended this prestigious festival and various VIPs and local dignitaries made an appearance during the opening ceremony.

4 National bossaball teams from Brazil, Slovenia, Belgium and the Netherlands competed and demonstrated the bossaball game on a daily basis at the Village Corporation (KATARA) Seafront.

The Dutch team convincingly won the tournament.
