The 2023 Copa América de Beach Soccer (known natively in Spanish as the Copa América de Futbol Playa) was the fourth edition of the Copa América de Beach Soccer, the international beach soccer competition organised by CONMEBOL for the men's national teams of South America. It was held in Rosario, Argentina between 11 and 19 March 2023.[1][2] For the first time, the tournament acted as the South American qualification for the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup following CONMEBOL's decision to determine its representatives in the World Cup via the Copa America instead of its specific qualifying tournament that ran until 2021.[1] The top three teams qualified for the 2024 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup held in the United Arab Emirates.[3] Brazil won their third Copa América Beach Soccer title by beating the hosts Argentina 13–5 in the final. The defending champions Paraguay was unable to retain their title after losing in the semi-finals to Brazil, leading them to play the third place match against Colombia, which they also lost by a 5–7 score. Champions Brazil, runners-up Argentina and third place Colombia qualified for the 2023 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.[4]

Teams

Teams representing all 10 members of CONMEBOL will take part.[5]

Draw

The draw to split the ten teams into two groups of five took place at 12:00 PYST (UTC−3) on 16 February 2023 at CONMEBOL headquarters in Luque, Paraguay, under the following procedure:[8] The teams were seeded based on their final ranking in the previous edition of the tournament in 2022 (shown in brackets). Initially, two teams were automatically assigned to position one of the groups:

The remaining eight teams were split into four pots of two based on their seeding, in order from the highest seeds placed in Pot 1, down to the lowest seeds placed in Pot 4. From each pot, the first team drawn was placed into Group A and the second team drawn was placed into Group B.

Pot 1 Pot 2 Pot 3 Pot 4

Match officials

On 23 February 2023, CONMEBOL announced a total of 20 referees appointed for the tournament.[11]

Group stage

The top two teams of each group advanced to the semi-finals. The teams finishing in third through fifth proceeded to play in consolation matches against the teams finishing in the same position in the other group to determine their final rank. 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 (Regulations Article 19). If two or more teams are equal on points, their rankings are determined as follows (Regulations Article 20):

  1. points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;
  2. goal difference in the group matches between the teams concerned;
  3. number of goals scored in the group matches between the teams concerned;
  4. goal difference in all group matches;
  5. number of goals scored in all group matches;
  6. fewest red cards;
  7. fewest yellow cards;
  8. drawing of lots by CONMEBOL.

All match times are in local time, ART (UTC−3), as listed by CONMEBOL in the schedule published after the draw.[12] 14 March is allocated as a rest day.
