There are three groups of four teams called Group A, B and C. The 1st and 2nd placed teams in Groups A, B and C automatically qualify for the quarter-finals. One third placed team from one of the three groups will receive a bye into the quarter-finals in an open draw. The remaining two 3rd placed teams will meet in a Quarter-Final Play-Off to determine the team that completes the quarter-finals lineup. The 4th placed teams will proceed to the Relegation Play-Off to determine which team will suffer relegation.
