12 teams were present at the finals in Brasil, each split into 4 groups of 3 teams. Each team played the other 2 teams in its group in a round robin format, with the top two teams advancing to the quarter finals. The quarter finals, semi finals and the final itself would be played as in a knockout tournament. In the case of a drawn match in the knockout phase, sudden death penalties will be taken.
