Format

In League A, the 16 teams were divided into four groups of four, with each group played on a single round-robin basis. The top two teams of each group advanced to the quarter-finals, where the winners advance to the semi-finals, the winners of the semi-finals played the final while the losers played the third place match. The eight teams that not advanced to the quarter-finals were paired, based on their results in the group stage, to play in a final play-offs round.
In League 2, the 16 teams are also divided into four groups of four and the same competition format as in League A was used.
In Division 3, the 9 teams are divided into three groups one of three and the same competition format as in League A and B was used, with the difference that only the winners of each group and the best runner-up advanced directly to the semi-finals.
Each match was to last 70 minutes, comprising two periods of 35 minutes with an interval of 10 minutes in between. If a game in quarter-finals, semi-finals or third place match of each league was 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 was 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.
