The championship was organised by CONMEBOL, the governing body for football in South America, in cooperation with the local organisers, the Paraguayan Football Association (APF). The event took place between 8 and 15 December in Luque, Gran Asuncion, Paraguay.[2]
Brazil were the defending champions but lost to Argentina in the final who claimed their first title in what was a repeat of the final of the previous edition, but with the reverse outcome.[3]
Under 20s teams representing nine of the 10 members of CONMEBOL took part.
Due to "force majeure", Venezuela were the only team not participating.[4]

One venue was used in the city of Luque, Gran Asunción.
- All matches took place at Los Pynandi World Cup Stadium,[4] newly built to primarily host the 2019 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup, located on the grounds of the Paraguayan Olympic Committee with a capacity of 2,820.[5]
Each team must have submit a squad consisting of 12 players, of individuals no older than 20 years.[1]
The draw to split the ten teams into two groups, one of five and one of four, took place on 19 November at 17:00 PYST (UTC–3) in Asunción, Paraguay at the headquarters of the APF.[2]
Initially, two teams were automatically assigned to the groups:[6]
- to Group A: as the host association,
Paraguay - to Group B: the champions of the previous edition,
Brazil
The remaining seven teams were split into four pots, three of two and one of one, shown in the below table.[2]
The teams were seeded based on their final ranking in the previous edition of the South American Under-20 Beach Soccer Championship;[2] 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. The single team in Pot 4 was drawn into one of the groups at random.[2]
