It took place in at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, between 8 and 15 May.

France defeated Portugal 1–0 in a penalty shootout, following a 3–3 draw after extra-time, to win their first title.

Organisation

The 12 teams present at the finals in Brazil were split into four groups of three teams.

Qualification

European teams gained qualification by finishing in the top three spots of the 2004 Euro Beach Soccer League. The final spot was contested between the next four best teams in a small knockout tournament a few days before the World Cup began which saw Spain win. South American and North American qualification was gained by finishing in the top spots of the 2005 CONCACAF and CONMEBOL Beach Soccer Championship. The other nations received invites.
