The winners and runners-up from each group advanced to the knockout stage, in which the teams then competed in single-elimination matches, beginning with the semi-finals and ending with the final.

Each team had to submit a squad of 12 players, including a minimum of two goalkeepers, at least 2 weeks before the start of the event (Regulations Article II.A).
