The 2025 Copa América of Beach Soccer (known natively in Spanish as the Copa América de Futbol Playa) will be the fifth edition of the Copa América of Beach Soccer, the international beach soccer competition organised by CONMEBOL for the men's national teams of South America. It will be held in Chile between 22 February and 2 March 2025.[1][2]

For the second time, the tournament will act 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. The top three teams will qualify for the 2025 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup held in Seychelles. Brazil are the defending champions.

Each national team had to enter a squad of a maximum of 12 and a minimum of 10 players, including at least of two goalkeepers.

Draw

[edit]

The draw to split the ten teams into two groups of five took place at 12:00 PYST (UTC−3) on 11 November 2024 at CONMEBOL headquarters in Luque, Paraguay, under the following procedure:[1][2]

The teams were seeded based on their final ranking in the previous edition of the tournament in 2023 (shown in brackets).

Initially, two teams were automatically assigned to position one of the groups:

  • to Group A: as the hosts,  Chile
  • to Group B: as the last champions,  Brazil

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

The draw resulted in the following groups:[2]

A1  Chile
A2  Colombia
A3  Uruguay

Match officials

[edit]

As of December 2024, the match officials have not been announced.

Group stage

[edit]

The top two teams of each group advance 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.

If two or more teams are equal on points, their rankings are determined as follows:

  1. points between the teams concerned;
  2. goal difference between the teams concerned;
  3. goals scored between the teams concerned;
  4. goal difference in all group matches;
  5. 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, CHI (UTC−3).
