Más Acapulco que nunca: Bossaball shows in – México

The state secretary of tourism promotion of Acapulco decided to bring Bossaball between the 4th and the 7th of August to the beautiful scenic beach Playa Puerta Hacienda in order to promote local tourism and to consolidate the region as a place of high-level sport!

A selection of international Bossaball players entertained the audience and performed Bossaball shows, covered by various TV channels and news papers. Bossaball Mexico had united the Secretary of Tourism and the radio station “40 principales” for the event. An association that enabled a widespread publicity, which resulted in numerous TV features, news articles and radio programs.

The event organizers used the Bossaball activation to interact with internationally known stars. Among them, popular pop singer Marco di Mauro, Playa Limbo’s band members Maria Leon and Angel Bailly, singer-songwriter Reyli Barba and Fox Sports’ host Christopher Nigel.

The Bossaball event was the beginning of a series of major sports events to be held in the Pearl of the Pacific in the coming years, such as the FIFA beach soccer and beach volleyball tournaments.
