Format edit

Initially, the first stage was disputed by 29 teams divided by five groups of four and three groups of three. The classification was the same used by FIFA in the FIFA World Cup format of the last two decades, where each group engaged in a round-robin tournament within itself. The two highest ranked teams in each group advanced to the knockout stage. Teams were awarded three points for a win and one for a draw.

In the knockout stage there were four rounds (round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final), with each eliminating the losers. The two semi-final losers competed in a third place play-off. For any match in the knockout stage, a draw after 6000 cycles was followed by more 6000 cycles to determine a winner. If the teams were still tied, a penalty shoot-out was held to determine a winner.
