The 2019 CONMEBOL qualifiers for the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup, (natively in Spanish: CONMEBOL Eliminatorias al Mundial de la FIFA de Fútbol Playa Brasil 2019) was the eighth edition of the Beach Soccer World Cup qualification championship contested by the men's national teams of South America to determine the best beach soccer nation on the continent, organised by CONMEBOL. The tournament acted as a qualifying event to the 2019 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in Asunción, Paraguay, with the top two finishing nations progressing to the finals in addition to Paraguay who qualify automatically as hosts.

The competition took place from 28 April to 5 May 2019 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[1] Brazil were the defending champions and winners.

Participating teams

All ten CONMEBOL member national teams entered the tournament.

Draw

The draw of the tournament was held on 10 April 2019 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil during the 70th CONMEBOL Ordinary Congress.[2] The ten teams were drawn into two groups of five. 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).

Seeded Pot 1 Pot 2 Pot 3 Pot 4
  •  Brazil (1) (Hosts, assigned to A1)
  •  Paraguay (2) (vice-champions, assigned to B1)

Group stage

Each team earns three points for a win in regulation time, two points for a win in extra time, one point for a win in a penalty shoot-out, and no points for a defeat. The top two teams from each group advance to the semi-finals, while the teams in third, fourth and fifth advance to the fifth place, seventh place, and ninth place matches respectively.

All times are local, BRT (UTC−3).[3][4]
