Organised by the Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC), national associations of FIFA (beach soccer's governing body) from a territory with a National Olympic Committee (NOC) were invited to enter one team into preliminary qualification routes[2] from which 16 teams, representing all six continental zones, advanced to the final competition;[1] the hosts Qatar did not enter a team.[3]

The tournament was a multi-stage competition, consisting of a round-robin group stage and followed by a single elimination knockout round, starting with the semi-finals and ending with the gold medal match,[4] with all matches hosted on the Katara Beach.[5]

Brazil claimed the gold medal after winning the final 9–3 against Russia who settled for silver. Meanwhile, Iran defeated Italy in the bronze medal match to claim the remaining place on the podium.[6]

Competition schedule edit

The tournament began on 11 October, one day before the opening ceremony, and ended on the final day of the Games, 16 October.[4][7]

b. The dates of teams who qualified via their world ranking refer to when they were publicly revealed by the qualification organisers.

Venues edit

 
Katara Beach, Doha

The matches were held on the Katara Beach[5] at the Beach Soccer Arena which consisted of two venues: the larger-capacity main stadium that hosted the majority of games and located adjacent, a smaller-capacity secondary stadium known as "Pitch 1" for all other matches which was only used during the group stage.[14][15][16]

Squads edit

Main article: Beach soccer at the 2019 World Beach Games – Men's team squads

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 edit

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]

Pot 1 Pot 2 Pot 3 Pot 4
