The 2015 CONCACAF Beach Soccer Championship was a beach soccer tournament which took place in Costa del Sol, El Salvador on 28 March – 4 April 2015.[1] This was the first time the CONCACAF Beach Soccer Championship was held in Central America. All matches were played at Estadio de Fútbol Playa (Costa del Sol) in La Paz Department, with an official capacity of 2,000.[1]

The tournament served as the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup qualifier for teams from North, Central America and Caribbean which are members of CONCACAF, where the top two teams qualified for the 2015 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in Portugal. In the final, Mexico defeated Costa Rica to be crowned champions, and both teams qualified for the 2015 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.[2]

The following 16 teams entered the tournament.[1][3]

Note: Guadeloupe is not a FIFA member and thus ineligible to qualify for the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.
