Matches rules
    
Every match consisted of two periods of 45 minutes each. In a match, every team had eleven named substitutes and the maximum number of substitutions permitted was four (a fifth substitution was allowed only for goalkeepers).
In the knockout stage, if a game tied at the end of regulation time, extra time would not be played and the penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winner.
Group stage
    
The draw was held on 8 April 2019. The twelve teams were drawn into three groups of four.[6] In the group stage, each group was played on a round-robin basis. The teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss). If tied on points, the following criteria would be used to determine the ranking: 1. Goal difference; 2. Goals scored; 3. Fair play points. The group winners and the best runners-up qualified for the semi-finals. The Group stage was played from 1 to 9 June 2019.
