The championship was organised by CONMEBOL, the governing body for football in South America, in cooperation with the local organisers, the Paraguayan Football Association (APF). The event took place between 8 and 15 December in Luque, Gran Asuncion, Paraguay.[2]

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

edit

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

Due to "force majeure", Venezuela were the only team not participating.[4]

Draw

edit

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]

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]
