"Beach Volleyball" might be a more-suitable term


Explanation:
Greetings... taHaiya Tayyiba wa b3ad...

Absent more context, the playing of a game of soccer/football on the sand at a beach seems implausible.

Perhaps a suitable rendition is "beach volleyball," which is a common beach-side team (or with only two players, in some instances) sport in the US and includes use of a ball, a net, and a designated playing site (a demarcated playing field in the sand).

Hope this helps

Khair, in shaa' Allah.

Regards,
