Draft procedure

The draft to stock the eight teams with players has not been held. It is speculated that the draft will be held during the week of 28 October 2013.

Last year's draft was held on 25 April 2012, at the Beach Soccer Worldwide headquarters in Barcelona, Spain, with each team selecting ten players each.[3] Each team had until 2159 GMT on 27 April 2012 to complete any player transfers and also the confirmation of a possible former football star (to be approved by Beach Soccer Worldwide).

According to the draft procedure, the team representative of every Club is to attend that meeting in the two aforementioned venue, and he will be the responsible of picking the players for his squad.[4] All Beach Soccer players can be potentially selected, and, just as it happens in great events for leagues such as the NBA, NHL or Major League Baseball, in order to set a balanced, competitive tournament, the Draft for the players’ election will follow some guidelines.

Players

The 'Draft' followed the following criteria: three national players (chosen beforehand), three continental players (up two from the same country), a player UEFA / CONMEBOL (South America and Europe), a player from AFC / CAF / CONCACAF / OFC (Asia / Africa / North America and the Caribbean / Oceania) player and a 'national'.

Group Stage

The draw to divide the teams into two groups of four was conducted on 21 October 2013. The official schedule was released on 22 October 2013.

All kickoff times are of local time in Rio de Janeiro (UTC-2).
