Each team could enter a squad consisting of up to 12 players. A total of up to 192 athletes were expected to compete.[2][17]

Draw

The draw to split the 16 teams into four groups of four took place at 10:00 AST (UTC+3) on 27 August 2019 at the Lusail Sports Arena in Doha, Qatar.[5][18] Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW) vice-president Joan Cusco oversaw the draw.[19] For the purpose of the draw, the 16 teams were split into four pots of four according to their world ranking with the highest ranked teams placed in Pot 1, down to the lowest ranked teams placed in Pot 4.[18] One team from each pot was placed into each of the four groups. Teams from the same confederation could not be drawn into the same group, except for UEFA nations for which one group was permitted to contain two.[18] At the start of the draw, two teams from Pot 1 were automatically allocated to the groups – Brazil, as the ranking leaders, were assigned to position A1 and Russia, as the second best ranked team, were assigned to position D1.[18] The composition of the pots is shown below (World Ranking in parentheses):[20]
