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.[4][5] CONMEBOL began recognising the tournaments in 2013, under the title South American Beach Soccer Championship, also acknowledging the 2006–11 events as historic editions of the championship.[6] CONMEBOL eventually began organising the qualifiers in 2017, under a new title.

Participating teams

A tournament-record nine teams, an increase of one team from the previous CONMEBOL qualifier, have confirmed their participation in the competition.[7]

gollark: The commune sort of thing probably worked well for hunter gatherer tribes, but not massively complex large interdependent modern societies.
gollark: Political responses to hard questions from my die project:- dispute terminology- national security/children (this was, paraphrased slightly, literally how my local MP justified the investigatory powers bill)- leave, live on pension (e.g. David Cameron)- Answer some other question to what was asked- invent or misreport some statistics about it- find a scapegoat (such as immigrants, or new technology, or the opposition/last party)- no comment- deny what you just saidComing in v3, Dodecahedral Edition:- delay as long as possible[3 more submissions wanted!]
gollark: I said earlier, communism scales poorly, did you not listen.
gollark: <@332271551481118732> no.
gollark: Anyway, they do the other stuff on it lots too.
