Group stage

Draw

Thirty-six teams entered the tournament. As all the teams are unranked, there is no seeding, so all the teams are randomly assigned into 6 groups, with Groups A-C being hosted by Bollonich, and Group D-F hosted by Banija.

Format

Teams played each other team in their group in a single round-robin format. The top two teams from each group, plus the four third-placed teams with the best record, advanced to the single-elimination round of 16 bracket.

Tiebreakers

Group standings were determined in the following order of precedence:

  1. Points
  2. Head-to-head points
  3. Head-to-head goal difference
  4. Overall goal differential
  5. Drawing of lots (OOC: RP Bonus)
