The 16 teams qualified for the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cu Paraguay 2019 will get to know their fate today, at the official draw for the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Paraguay 2019, to be held at 7:30 pm (Paraguay time) at the CONMEBOL Convention Center (Asunción, Paraguay)
You can follow the draw LIVE through https://beachsoccer.com/live or through the FIFA channels FIFA.com and FIFA TV.
Remember, the 16 teams qualified have been distributed into four pots:
POT 1: Paraguay, Brazil, Russia and Tahiti
POT 2: Italy, Portugal, Japan and Senegal
POT 3: Switzerland, Mexico, Nigeria and UAE
POT 4: Oman, USA, Uruguay and Belarus
And the draw procedure goes as follows:
The four pots containing the teams are numbered 1 to 4.
Marked A to D, the four pots representing the groups each contain four balls with the positions in each group (1, 2, 3 and 4).
The draw will begin with Pot 1 and end with Pot 4. All the balls will be drawn from one national team pot before moving on to the next.
A ball will be drawn from a national team pot first of all. A ball will then be drawn from the group pot to allocate the team’s position in the group.
Draw criteria
As the host nation, Paraguay will be the red ball in Pot 1 and will be allocated to position A1. Defending champions Brazil will be the yellow ball in that same pot and will be allocated to position D1.
FIFA will once again apply the principle of preventing two teams from the same confederation being drawn into the same group, with the exception of Europe, which is represented by five teams. Each group shall have at least one European team, with one having two.
