[edit] First round

The teams were divided into three groups of four teams each. The formation of the groups was made by CONMEBOL, in a public drawing of lots.

Each team plays one match against each of the other teams within the same group. Three (3) points are awarded for a win, one (1) point for a draw and zero (0) points for a defeat.

First and second placed teams, in each group, advance to the quarter-finals. The best third placed team and the second best third placed team, also advance to the quarter-finals.

Tie-breaker
- If teams finish leveled on points, the following tie-breakers are used:
1. greater goal difference in all group games;
2. greater number of goals scored in all group games;
3. winner of the head-to-head match between the teams in question;
4. drawing of lots.
