According to tournament schedules, the German national beach soccer team will also participate in this classification bracket.
The identity of the fourth team in this specific grouping remains pending. Organizers are awaiting the conclusion of the high-stakes match between Spain and Portugal. The outcome of that Iberian matchup will complete the four-team pool for the 5-8th place playoffs.
Stakes in the Placement Bracket

The physical toll of multiple high-intensity matches in a short window places a premium on squad depth and recovery protocols.
