COMPETITION SYSTEM

· 121 national teams enter a Qualifying Stage (host Mexico and title holder Italy are exempt from this round), divided in 14 geographic groups. The group winners and some runners-up qualify for the Final Stage in Mexico.

· The 24 teams qualified for the Final Stage are divided in 6 groups of 4 teams each playing a round robin. In case that two or more teams finish level on points, their position is decided by general goal difference.

· The group winners and runners-up, together with the four best third-placed squads, advance to an 1/8 Final knock-out round, played as an X-pairing. The winners move to quarterfinals and further semifinals, and the two surviving teams at the end of these knock-out rounds qualify for the final.
