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.
