The twelve teams will be split into three groups of four teams, and a single round-robin will be held within each group. The first- and second-placed teams of each group advance to the quarterfinals as well as the two best third-placed teams. After the preliminary round, the teams will be grouped according to their results, and a draw pair teams between the groups for the quarterfinals. For the draw the teams will be seeded in four pots, with the top two-ranked teams (Pot D), 3rd–4th ranked teams (Pot E), 5–6th ranked teams (Pot F) and 7–8th ranked teams (Pot G). Teams from Pot D face a team from Pot G and teams from Pot E a team from Pot F. Teams from the same group can't face each other again. If both teams from Pot D qualify for the semifinals, they can not play against each other.[3]

  • Pot E comprises the lowest ranked first-placed team and the best-ranked second-placed team from the group phase.
  • Pot F comprises the remaining second-placed teams from the group phase.
  • Pot G comprises the two best third-placed teams.
