The 2015 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup CONMEBOL qualifier, also commonly known as the 2015 South American Beach Soccer Championship, was the sixth Beach Soccer World Cup qualification championship for South America, held from April 19–26 at Playa del Murciélago, in Manta, Ecuador.[1]

The qualifiers were not coordinated by CONMEBOL at the time. The event was organised by Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW), under the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Qualifier title.[2][3] CONMEBOL reported on the event under the title of South American Beach Soccer Championship.[4][5] CONMEBOL eventually began organising the qualifiers in 2017, under a new title.

Brazil defeated Paraguay to be crowned champions, and both teams together with third place Argentina qualified for the 2015 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.[6]

Participating teams and draw

A total of 10 teams entered the tournament. This was the first time in the history of the CONMEBOL Beach Soccer Championship that all ten CONMEBOL teams participated in the competition.[7]

The draw of the tournament was held on 27 March 2015 at Luque.[8] The 10 teams were drawn into two groups of five teams.

Group stage

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.
