The 2013 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup CONMEBOL qualifier, also commonly known as the 2013 South American Beach Soccer Championship, was the fifth Beach Soccer World Cup qualification championship for South America, held from February 10–17 at Parque Recreativo, in Merlo, a town in the San Luis Province of Argentina.[1]

The qualifiers were not coordinated by CONMEBOL at the time. The event was organised by Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW), under the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Qualifier title.[2][3] CONMEBOL first recognised the tournament this year, under the title South American Beach Soccer Championship, also acknowledging the 2006–11 events as historic editions of the championship.[4] CONMEBOL eventually began organising the qualifiers in 2017, under a new title.

Participating teams

The same nine nations who played in the 2011 qualifiers have entered into the tournament:[5]
