The 2019 CONMEBOL South American Under-20 Beach Soccer Championship was the second edition of the South American Under-20 Beach Soccer Championship[1] (known natively in Spanish as the Sudamericano Sub-20 Futbol Playa), an international youth beach soccer tournament for South American national teams of men under the age of 20.

The championship was organised by CONMEBOL, the governing body for football in South America, in cooperation with the local organisers, the Paraguayan Football Association (APF). The event took place between 8 and 15 December in Luque, Gran Asuncion, Paraguay.[2]

Brazil were the defending champions but lost to Argentina in the final who claimed their first title in what was a repeat of the final of the previous edition, but with the reverse outcome.[3]

Teams[edit]

Under 20s teams representing nine of the 10 members of CONMEBOL took part.

Due to "force majeure", Venezuela were the only team not participating.[4]

Squads[edit]

Each team must have submit a squad consisting of 12 players, of individuals no older than 20 years.[1]

Draw[edit]

The draw to split the ten teams into two groups, one of five and one of four, took place on 19 November at 17:00 PYST (UTC–3) in Asunción, Paraguay at the headquarters of the APF.[2]

Initially, two teams were automatically assigned to the groups:[6]

The remaining seven teams were split into four pots, three of two and one of one, shown in the below table.[2]

The teams were seeded based on their final ranking in the previous edition of the South American Under-20 Beach Soccer Championship;[2] the highest ranked teams were placed in Pot 1, next highest in Pot 2 and so on, down to the lowest ranked team placed in Pot 4. From each pot, one team was drawn into Group A and the other team was drawn into Group B. The single team in Pot 4 was drawn into one of the groups at random.[2]
