The 2018 South American Under-18 Futsal Championship was the 2nd edition of the South American Under-18 Futsal Championship (Spanish : CONMEBOL Sudamericano de Futsal Sub-18), the biennial international youth futsal championship organised by the CONMEBOL for the men's under-18 national teams of South America. The tournament was held in Luque, Paraguay between 22 and 29 March 2018. [1] Different from the first edition, it was played as an under-18 tournament instead of an under-17 tournament.

Contents

The tournament served as qualifying for the futsal tournament at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires, with the winner qualifying for the boys' tournament together with hosts Argentina which qualified automatically (if Argentina were to win the tournament, the runner-up would qualify) [2]

Teams

All ten CONMEBOL member national teams entered the tournament. [3]

Venues

All matches are played in one venue: Centro de Entrenamiento Olímpico in Luque.

Draw

The draw of the tournament was held on 19 March 2018, 11:30 PYST (UTC−3), at the headquarters of the Paraguayan Football Association in Asunción. [4] The ten teams were drawn into two groups of five teams. The hosts Paraguay and the defending champions Brazil were seeded into Groups A and B respectively, while the remaining teams were placed into four "pairing pots" according to their results in the 2016 South American Under-17 Futsal Championship: Argentina–Venezuela, Peru–Ecuador, Uruguay–Bolivia, Chile–Colombia.

Squads

Each team had to submit a squad of 12 players, including a minimum of two goalkeepers (Regulations Article 4.1). [5] Players born on or after 1 January 2000 are eligible to compete in the tournament.

Group stage

The top two teams of each group advance to the semi-finals, while the teams in third, fourth and fifth advance to the fifth place, seventh place, and ninth place play-offs respectively. The teams are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If tied on points, tiebreakers are applied in the following order (Regulations Article 6.2): [5]

  1. Results in head-to-head matches between tied teams (points, goal difference, goals scored);
  2. Goal difference in all matches;
  3. Goals scored in all matches;
  4. Red cards in all matches;
  5. Yellow cards in all matches
  6. Drawing of lots.

All times are local, PYST (UTC−3) until 24 March 2018, PYT (UTC−4) from 25 March 2018. [6]
