The highest-ranked 16 entrants were exempt from qualifying and advanced directly to the group stage of the final tournament, while the lowest-ranked 10 entrants participated in the qualifying stage, where the two group winners and the two group runners-up advanced to the round of 16 of the knockout stage of the final tournament.
