Sun, Sand, and Samba: Conde Joins Yamal for Beach Football with Kids

26 December 2025

Conde joins Yamal in beach football with kids

After a widely shared clip of Barcelona star Lamine Yamal in Dubai playing football on a beach with children, a new video surfaced today featuring teammate Jules Conde doing the same on the shore.

The clip shows Conde attempting to showcase his football flair with several kids in Benin.

Humor and context

The comments were lighthearted, noting that the French player’s dribbling and tricks didn’t reflect his Barcelona form or World Cup runner-up status for France, with some jokes about sun, sand, and fancy footwork.

Many Barcelona players are currently on Christmas break outside Spain, as coach Hans Flick granted vacation time.

And yes, if beach football counted as a major trophy, Conde might finally win something bigger than a souvenir hat.

Punchlines: On sand, even legends practice shade-dodging more than dribbling.
Punchline 2: If football on the beach counted as a transfer, Conde would be sun-king of Benin by now.
