Draw
[edit]The draw was held at 11:00 EDT on 17 March 2023 at CONCACAF headquarters in Miami, United States. The 12 teams were drawn into three groups of four.[1][2]
The procedure was as follows:
The teams were first divided into four pots of three based on their CONCACAF Beach Soccer Ranking as of August 2021. The highest ranked teams were placed in Pot 1, down through to the lowest ranked teams placed in Pot 4. The three teams in Pot 1 were seeded and each automatically assigned to the head of one of the groups. The teams from Pots 2–4 were then drawn, drawing all teams from one pot before moving onto the next.
Pot 1 | Pot 2 | Pot 3 | Pot 4 |
---|---|---|---|
|
|

- The numbers in parentheses show the CONCACAF ranking of the teams as of August 2021, out of 19 nations.[3]
Squads
[edit]Each team had to submit a squad of 12 players, including a minimum of two goalkeepers.
Group stage
[edit]Each team earns three points for a win in regulation time, two points for a win in extra time, one point for a win in a penalty shoot-out, and no points for a defeat. The top two teams from each group and the two best third placed teams advance to the quarter-finals.[1][2]
