The 2013 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup was the seventh edition of the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup, governed by FIFA. It took place from 18–28 September 2013 at Tahua To'ata Stadium (Stade Tahua To'ata) in Papeete, Tahiti, the fourth tournament to have taken place outside Brazil. Overall this was the 17th edition of the World Cup since its establishment in 1995 (series before 2005 were not governed by FIFA and were held under the title Beach Soccer World Championships). This was the second tournament to take place since the establishment of a longer two-year cycle of tournaments.[1]

The tournament was confirmed in March 2010.[2] Russia successfully defended their title.

Qualifying rounds

Hosts

Tahiti qualified automatically as hosts.

African Zone

The CAF qualifiers took place from 22–26 May 2013 in El Jadida, Morocco[3] to determine the two teams for the finals. The qualifiers were originally scheduled for 10–14 April, and then 29 May-2 June 2013 in Casablanca. Senegal and Côte d'Ivoire qualified for the two available spots.

Asian Zone

The AFC qualifiers took place from 22–26 January 2013 at a temporary stadium and adjacent pitch on Katara Beach in Doha, Qatar, to determine the three teams to qualify for the finals.[4] Iran, Japan and the United Arab Emirates took the three spots.

European Zone

The UEFA qualifiers took place in Moscow, Russia on 1–8 July 2012. Spain, Russia, Ukraine and the Netherlands grabbed the four available spots.[5]

North, Central American and Caribbean Zone

The CONCACAF qualifiers took place from 8–12 May 2013 in Nassau, Bahamas to determine the two spots available. The United States, and El Salvador claimed the two spots.

Oceanian Zone

The OFC qualifiers took place from 30 August to 2 September 2013 on the grounds of the University of New Caledonia in Nouméa, New Caledonia to determine the second OFC team to qualify for the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup (Tahiti having already qualified as hosts).[6] They were originally to have taken place from 4–9 August 2013 in the 2013 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup's host city of Papeete, Tahiti.[7] Due to difficulties with the dimensions of the pitch that was to be used for the qualifiers, and Tahiti's declined not to participate in the tournament, it was decided that the tournament should be moved to reduce costs. It was originally scheduled for 12–14 June.

South American Zone

The CONMEBOL qualifiers took place from 10–17 February 2013 at a temporary stadium in Merlo, a town in the San Luis Province of Argentina, to determine the three spots available.[7] Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay claimed the three spots.

The allocation of slots for this competition was approved by the FIFA Executive Committee in May 2012.[8]
