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.
Here is the list of match officials for this tournament:[6]
Cesar Figueredo (head official)

Felipe Duarte Varejao
Patricio Alberto Blanca Fuentes
Jose Cortez Ortiz
Gustavo Alberto Dominguez
Micke Palomino Huamani

Group stage[]
The draw to divide the nine teams into two groups (one will have five teams, the other will have four) was conducted on 8 January 2013.[7] The subsequent schedule seen here is the official schedule, which was finally released on 9 February 2013.[8]
All match times will be correct to that of local time in Merlo, being Argentina Time, (UTC-03:00).
Since there are nine teams in the tournament, it was decided that a group stage-like playoff to determine the bottom three placements would be held. This group would involve the 4th and 5th-place finishers in Group A and the 4th-place finisher in Group B.
