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:
greater goal difference in all group games;
greater number of goals scored in all group games;
winner of the head-to-head match between the teams in question;
drawing of lots.
