Format
The 40 teams are seeded in 10 groups, 5 groups in pool A and 5 groups in pool B. Each team from a group meets the others in a single tie. The winning club from each group and six best runners-up progress to the knockout stage. All matches in the final rounds are single tie. During the round of 16 no extra time will be played in case of a draw, with the match proceeding immediately to penalty kicks. From the quarterfinals on, matches include 30 minutes extra time and penalties to be played if the draw between teams still holds.[1]
