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 first recognised the tournament this year, under the title South American Beach Soccer Championship, also acknowledging the 2006–11 events as historic editions of the championship.[4] CONMEBOL eventually began organising the qualifiers in 2017, under a new title.
