Brazil were the defending champions but lost to Argentina in the final who claimed their first title in what was a repeat of the final of the previous edition, but with the reverse outcome.[3]

Teams

Under 20s teams representing nine of the 10 members of CONMEBOL took part.

Draw

The draw to split the ten teams into two groups, one of five and one of four, took place on 19 November at 17:00 PYST (UTC–3) in Asunción, Paraguay at the headquarters of the APF.[2]

Initially, two teams were automatically assigned to the groups:[6]

  • to Group A: as the host association,  Paraguay
  • to Group B: the champions of the previous edition,  Brazil

The remaining seven teams were split into four pots, three of two and one of one, shown in the below table.[2]

The teams were seeded based on their final ranking in the previous edition of the South American Under-20 Beach Soccer Championship;[2] the highest ranked teams were placed in Pot 1, next highest in Pot 2 and so on, down to the lowest ranked team placed in Pot 4. From each pot, one team was drawn into Group A and the other team was drawn into Group B. The single team in Pot 4 was drawn into one of the groups at random.[2]
