Format In League A, the 8 teams were divided into two groups (A and B), one of five teams and one of four teams, with each group played on a single round-robin basis. The top two teams of each group advanced to the semi-finals, with the winners of the semi-finals playing in the final, while the losers played the third-place match. The four teams that did not advance to the semi-finals were paired, based on their results in the group stage, to play in a play-offs round to determine their final place in the tournament.
In League 2, the 16 teams are also divided into four groups (C to F) of four and the same competition format as in League A was used.
In Division 3, the 14 teams are divided into four groups (G to J), two of three teams and two of four team, and followed the same competition format as in League A and B.
Each match was to last 70 minutes, comprising two periods of 35 minutes with a half-time interval of 10 minutes in between. If a game in the semi-finals or a third-place match of each league were tied at the end of regulation time, the winner would be decided directly by a penalty shoot-out. If the final match of each league were tied at the end of regulation time an extra time of two 10 minute periods would be played, if the score was still tied at the end of overtime, the match would be decided by a penalty shoot-out.
