The FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Seychelles 2025 has introduced its official mascot, TiKay, on the picturesque Indian Ocean Island of Mahé. TiKay, whose name combines the French word for “small” and the Creole word for scales, is a beach soccer-loving tortoise with a captivating backstory.

The charismatic and energetic TiKay will be the face of the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup 2025, radiating positive vibes and embodying the family-friendly atmosphere that the tournament is known for. Making his debut at Beau Vallon Beach during a special Beach Soccer Clinic, TiKay engaged with young athletes, promoting sportsmanship, environmental awareness, and active lifestyles.
Seychelles’ Principal Secretary for Youth and Sports Development, Ralph Jean-Louis, expressed delight at meeting TiKay, praising the mascot for his enthusiasm and positive influence on the young participants. The Beach Soccer Clinic, part of the “get active” campaign, encouraged children to be more physically active and prioritize their health.
The FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup, a biennial event since 2009, will mark its 13th edition in 2025, following its inaugural tournament in 2005. As the countdown to the competition begins, TiKay’s presence adds excitement and anticipation for what promises to be a monumental event in Victoria, Seychelles.
