Hosts Brazil will face Bolivia in the first match of their world title-defending campaign
The match schedule for the Eliminatorias Mundial FIFA Fútbol Playa Brasil 2019, which is set to take place in Rio de Janeiro between the 28th April and the 5th May, has been released.
The opening match will see Colombia take on Uruguay, while hosts Brazil will play the second match against Bolivia.
Four matches will be played per day during the group stages, meaning that two of the ten competing sides will be out of action on each day.
The venue for the event is the Parque Olimpico in Rio. This year, three CONMEBOL teams will qualify to the FIFA World Cup.
However, one spot is already taken by Paraguay who automatically qualify as the host nation. If the Albirroja finish among the top two teams, the nation that finishes third will qualify.
