## Format

Each tie in the knockout stage, apart from the final, is played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scores more goals on aggregate over the two legs advances to the next round. If the aggregate score is level, the away goals rule is applied, i.e. the team that scores more goals away from home over the two legs advances. If away goals are also equal, extra time will not be played and the winners are decided by a penalty shoot-out.

## Qualified teams

The knockout stage involves 32 teams: the 30 teams which enter the competition from this stage, and the two teams which qualify from the preliminary round.

Teams were seeded based on their association rank in their respective region.
