2024 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Venue
The city of Dubai is the location of one venue. The stadium is situated in the city’s inland Design District, despite being a beachside city. It can hold 3,900 people and will host all 32 of the competition’s matches. The stadium was constructed temporarily just for the competition; normally, building takes 60 to 90 days. This stadium took only 25 days to complete.
2024 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Teams
There are sixteen teams participating in the tournament, divided into four groups:
- Group A: UAE, Egypt, USA, and Italy
- Group B: Spain, Iran, Tahiti, and Argentina
- Group C: Senegal, Belarus, Colombia, and Japan

Draw and Squad Information
At the Mohammed Bin Rashid Library in Dubai, the draw to divide the 16 teams into four groups of four took place on October 6, 2023, at 18:30 GST (UTC+4). It was Bakhit Saad and Christian Karembeu who cast the lots. After the draw, the four groups were formed: group A, group B, group C, and group D.
A preliminary squad consisting of 12 to 18 players had to be named by each team. The club had until the FIFA deadline to select a final roster of 12 players, two of whom had to be goalkeepers, from the preliminary group. If a player in the final squad suffers a “serious” injury or illness, they may be replaced by a player from the preliminary squad up to 24 hours before the team’s first game begins.
On February 7, 2024, FIFA released the final squad lists.
