Thirty-Six pairs were competing, the host country China withdrew their pair. Africa and Asia hosted a single qualification tournament while Europe created a Youth Continental Cup with different zonal stages ending with a final qualification tournament. South America created a six legged tour, though only five events were held where the six countries with the most points qualified and North, Central America and Caribbean hosted four zonal tournaments where the winners qualified to the Youth Olympics and a final tournament where the top two nations qualified.

After the pool round is completed, the best team from each pool plus the two best second place teams will advance to the eight-finals; the rest of the second place teams plus the third and fourth place teams from each pool will advance to the Round of 24. The Round of 24 is a single elimination round, the winning teams will play against the eight-finalists in another single elimination round; next the quarterfinals, semifinals and final matches.[15]
