Format

edit

On the first stage, the 21 teams are split in 3 groups with 7 teams each. In each group, every team play against all the other teams in the same group. The first and second teams from each group qualify to the quarterfinals. The two best teams in the overall standings also qualify. The 12 worst teams advance to the relegation tournament.[3]

The quarterfinals are played in one-leg, and the semifinals and the finals are played in two-leg. On the relegation tournament, the twelve teams are split in two groups of six. Each team plays against all the teams in the other group. The worst club in this stage standings is relegated, and the second worst club has to play a relegation playoff match against the runner-up from the second division.[3]
