For the first time in the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup UEFA Qualifying tournament, a straight knockout stage was not used. Instead, the eight winners of the Round of 16 were divided into two groups of four. The compositions of the groups were formed on the basis of the composite ranking based on the results of the first group stage and the Round of 16.

Group G consisted of the Round of 16 winners with the 1st, 4th, 5th and 8th best records, while Group H consisted of the Round of 16 winners with the 2nd, 3rd, 6th and 7th best records. The group winners would play in the final, while the second-place teams would play for third place.[4] In any event, the top two teams in each group would qualify for the 2013 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.
