The teams will be drawn into four groups of four. Two best-placed teams of each group will move into quarter-finals. The winners of the Quarter-finals continue to the Semi-finals. The losers of the Semi-finals will play two games and the winners of these games will play for 5th and 6th place and for the losers of these two matches the tournament is over. The 7th team will be the team losing to the team which achieves the 5th place on the tournament. Third and fourth placed teams in the group stage will play for places 9–12 and 13–16 respectively.[1]
