    Group stage

    The 24 teams participating in the group stage are divided into three pots of eight teams each based on ranking criteria. The draw was held on 20 December 2024. In the draw, two teams are placed into four groups, with one team taken from the top four and one from the bottom four of each pot. In the groups, each team plays a total of three matches, one against a team from each pot. The top two teams from each group, a total of eight teams, advance to the quarter-finals. In the event that two or more teams finish the group stage with the same points, the ranking will be determined by applying the following criteria in order: overall goal difference in the group stage, the total number of goals scored in the group stage, the number of wins in the group stage, the team with the lower disciplinary points. Disciplinary points are calculated as follows: each red card equals 3 disciplinary points, and each yellow card equals 1 disciplinary point. Only cards shown to players during group stage matches are considered in this calculation, and for red cards resulting from two yellow cards, the yellow card that led to the red card is not counted separately for disciplinary points. If the disciplinary points are also equal, the ranking will be determined based on the seedings.
