## Format

The first round, or group stage, was a competition between the 10 teams divided among two groups of five, where each group engaged in a round-robin tournament within itself. The two highest ranked teams in each group advanced to the knockout stage for the position one to four. The next two teams played for the position five to eight. The last teams played for the position nine to ten. Teams were awarded three points for a win and one for a draw. When comparing teams in a group over-all result came before head-to-head.

* Tie-breaking criteria for group play
* The ranking of teams in each group was based on the following criteria:
* Number of points
* Goal difference
* Number of goals scored
* Number of points obtained in matches between tied teams
* Goal difference in matches between tied teams
* Number of goals scored in matches between tied teams
* Drawing of lots

In the knockout stage there were two rounds (semi-finals, and the final). The winners plays for the higher positions, the losers for the lower positions. For any match in the knockout stage, a draw after 60 minutes of regulation time was followed by two 10 minute periods of extra time to determine a winner. If the teams were still tied, a penalty shoot-out was held to determine a winner.
