Group stage edit
The ten participant clubs were divided into two groups of three (3) and one group of four (4). Due to the uneven number of teams on each group, the top two from group C (which contained 4 teams) advanced directly to the final round. Meanwhile, groups A and B (containing only 3 teams) had the winners advancing directly and the runners-up facing in a one leg play-off match.
