The '''2019 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Final''' was a [[beach soccer]] match which took place on 1 December 2019 at [[Los Pynandi World Cup Stadium]] in [[Luque]], [[Paraguay]], to determine the winners of the [[2019 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/beachsoccerworldcup/matches/match/400095750/#players-of-italy-and-portugal-enter-the-pitch|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191109161412/https://www.fifa.com/beachsoccerworldcup/matches/match/400095750/#players-of-italy-and-portugal-enter-the-pitch|url-status=dead|archive-date=November 9, 2019|title=Portugal win second beach soccer world title |publisher=FIFA.com |date=1 December 2019}}</ref> It was the final and hence the last match of the 10th [[FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup]], a [[wikt:Special:Search/biennial|biennial]] competition contested by the men's national teams of the member associations of [[FIFA]]. 

As the fourth all-European final (following [[2001 Beach Soccer World Championship|2001]], [[2005 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup|2005]] and [[2013 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Final|2013]]), the match pitted the European champions of [[2018 EBSL|2018]] and [[2019 ebsl|2019]] respectively against each other:<ref name="finalshistory"/> [[Italy national beach soccer team|Italy]], who had previously competed in one World Cup final, in [[2008 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Final|2008]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/beachsoccerworldcup/news/italy-portugal-eye-glory-on-sandl-3060862|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191201181702/https://www.fifa.com/beachsoccerworldcup/news/italy-portugal-eye-glory-on-sandl-3060862|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 1, 2019|title=Italy and Portugal eye glory on the sand |publisher=FIFA.com |date=30 November 2019}}</ref> and [[Portugal national beach soccer team|Portugal]], who appeared in their third FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup final and their sixth overall when taking into account the pre-FIFA era ''Beach Soccer World Championships''; their last appearance was four years prior in [[2015 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Final|2015]].<ref name="finalshistory">{{cite web|url=http://futeboldepraiaportugal.pt/2019/12/01/conhecidos-europeus-na-disputa-do-mundial/|title=CONHECIDOS EUROPEUS NA DISPUTA DO MUNDIAL|publisher=Futebol de Praia Portugal |date=1 December 2019 |accessdate=16 December 2019 |lang=pt}}</ref>

==Background==
===World Cup history comparison===
Both nations are veterans at World Cups,<ref name="Observador">{{cite web|url=https://observador.pt/2019/12/01/hat-trick-de-jordan-lagrimas-de-madjer-portugal-vence-italia-e-sagra-se-tricampeao-mundial-so-atras-do-brasil/|title=Hat-trick de Jordan, lágrimas de Madjer: Portugal vence Itália e sagra-se tricampeão mundial (só atrás do Brasil)|publisher=Observador|date=2 December 2019 |accessdate=17 December 2019 |lang=pt}}</ref> with Portugal missing only one and Italy, two, since their debuts ([[1997 Beach Soccer World Championship|1997]] and [[1995 Beach Soccer World Championship|1995]] respectively). The former had had considerably more success than the latter. 

During the ''World Championships'' era, Portugal became champions in [[2001 Beach Soccer World Championship|2001]] and finished on the podium a further four times ([[1999 Beach Soccer World Championship|1999]], [[2002 Beach Soccer World Championship|2002]], [[2003 Beach Soccer World Championship|2003]], [[2004 Beach Soccer World Championship|2004]]). Since the FIFA era began, Portugal have fared relatively similarly, winning the [[2015 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup|2015 title]], finishing as runners-up in [[2005 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup|2005]] and earning bronze medals three times ([[2008 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup|2008]], [[2009 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup|2009]], [[2011 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup|2011]]). This was Portugal's third FIFA final and sixth overall.<ref name="finalshistory"/> Italy's best finish of the World Championships was a single bronze medal, in [[1996 Beach Soccer World Championship|1996]]. Italy reached their first final during the FIFA era in 2008, when they [[2008 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Final|lost to Brazil 5–3]], and this remained their only podium finish of this era until now. This was Italy's second World Cup final.<ref name="finalshistory"/> However, more recently, after [[2013 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup qualification (UEFA)|neither team qualified]] for [[2013 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup|2013]], Italy had reached the semi-finals of the last two editions, one better than their Iberian opponents.

===Quotes from participants===
Players and staff made analytic comments to the media after the match, including: 

Italian silver shoe winner, Emmanuele Zurlo:<ref name="zurlo">{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/beachsoccerworldcup/news/zurlo-we-ve-shown-the-world-who-italy-are |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191202184231/https://www.fifa.com/beachsoccerworldcup/news/zurlo-we-ve-shown-the-world-who-italy-are |url-status=dead |archive-date=December 2, 2019 |title=Zurlo: We’ve shown the world who Italy are |publisher=FIFA.com |date=1 December 2019 |accessdate=19 December 2019}}</ref>
<blockquote>
I am really proud of my team-mates. In the end, we have the bitterness of not having won the final, it will always be there, the truth is that we had a great tournament and we need to be happy to have gone all the way to the final. We’ve shown the world what kind of team Italy is, that we are capable of beating anyone, but in the end Portugal were deserved champions and were better.
</blockquote>

Portuguese coach, [[Mário Narciso]]:<ref name="narciso">{{cite web|url=https://www.fpf.pt/News/Todas-as-not%C3%ADcias/Not%C3%ADcia/news/25436 |title=Campeões do Mundo!!!!! |publisher=[[Portuguese Football Federation]] |date=1 December 2019 |accessdate=19 December 2019 |language=Portuguese}}</ref>
<blockquote>
The games between Portugal and Italy are always very divided. The teams are very equal, but of course I was hoping we could win. At this moment what is in my soul is a great joy, not only for me but also for those who are in the dressing room... the feeling that I made my contribution to this achievement is amazing. It was a dream year, we had a lot of victories! It won't be easy to match.
</blockquote>

Top scorer of the final, [[Jordan Santos]] of Portugal:<ref name="santos"/>
<blockquote>
The key to our success was playing well in the crucial matches. This is an experienced squad, full of players who knew what it was like to be crowned champions, and that made the difference.

This is the perfect way to end a fantastic year, bearing in mind we also won the Euro Beach Soccer League and the European Games. It’s a great source of pride to represent your country in such a way. I don’t think I’ll sleep with the trophy, as it’s a bit hard, but maybe I’ll do it with the medal!
</blockquote>
