context_page_description: The 2018 CONMEBOL South American Beach Soccer League was the second edition of the South American Beach Soccer League, a continental league competition for South American men's national beach soccer teams.
  Organised by the governing body for South American football, CONMEBOL, as part of its Development Department's Evolution Program, all ten members of the continental confederation took part, with both senior and under 20s national teams participating in the league events.
  The teams were first divided into two geographically based zones to compete in a round robin tournament against other members of their own zone during the regular season; the points earned by both the senior and under 20s teams are combined. The winners of each zone then proceeded to face each other in the finals to contest the title.
  Brazil were the defending champions and successfully defended their title, defeating Paraguay in what was a repeat of the finals of the previous edition.
context_section_description: The North zone regular season event took place just outside of the Colombian city of Santa Marta. All matches were hosted in a purpose built arena on the beach of El Rodadero resort with a capacity of 1,500, in the town of Gaira, organised in cooperation with the Colombian Football Federation.
  The match schedule was announced on 10 October.
  The event was attended by a total of 12,500 people (avg. of 625 per match).
  Matches are listed as local time in Santa Marta, COL (UTC-5).
