The 2023 CONMEBOL South American Under-20 Beach Soccer Championship was the third edition of the South American Under-20 Beach Soccer Championship (known natively in Spanish and Portuguese as the CONMEBOL Sub-20 Fútbol Playa), an international youth beach soccer tournament for South American men's national teams comprising players under the age of 20. A biennial event, the tournament took place for the first time in four years after being unable to take place in 2021 due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in South America.[1]

The event took place between 6 and 13 August in Iquique, Chile.[2] The championship was organised by CONMEBOL, the governing body for football in South America, in cooperation with the local organisers, the Football Federation of Chile (FFC).[3]

Argentina were the defending champions, but finished in the last position of the tournament. Paraguay won its first title in the championship.

Under 20s teams representing all 10 members of CONMEBOL will take part.[4]

Draw[edit]

The draw to split the ten teams into two groups of five took place on 26 June at 12:00 PYT (UTC–3) in Asunción, Paraguay at the headquarters of CONMEBOL.[4] The draw took place under the following procedure:[6]

Initially, two teams were automatically assigned to the groups:

The remaining eight teams were split into four pots of two, shown in the below table.

The teams were seeded based on their final ranking in the previous edition of the South American Under-20 Beach Soccer Championship; 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.

Pot 1 Pot 2 Pot 3 Pot 4
