The hosts and defending champions Brazil and the 2017 vice-champions Paraguay were seeded into Group A and Group B respectively and assigned to position 1 in their group, while the remaining eight teams were placed into four "pairing pots" according to their final positions in the 2017 CONMEBOL qualifiers for the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup (shown in brackets).
