The tournament took place at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, specifically at the purpose-built Copacabana Arena which had a capacity of 10,000. The main sponsor was McDonald's.[3]

Brazil successfully defended their title by again beating Spain, in consecutive finals.

Organisation

edit

The format was changed back to how the tournament was played between 1999 and 2001. This meant increasing the number of participants back up to twelve teams and splitting them up into four groups of three nations contested in a round robin format. The top two teams from each group progressed into the quarter-finals from which point on the championship proceeded as a knock-out tournament until the winner was crowned, with an additional third place deciding match.

Teams

edit

Qualification

edit

European teams gained qualification by finishing in the top four spots of the 2003 Euro Beach Soccer League. South American teams were hand-picked based on recent performances. The other entries received wild-card invites.[4]

Africa, Asia and Oceania were unrepresented.
