Qualified teams

edit

Uganda was supposed to play in Pool B, but withdrew due to a lack of funds.[2]

Format

edit

The eight teams will be split into two groups of four teams. All teams move on to the quarterfinals, and depending on their positions within the pool, they will be playing against a team from the other pool. In the quarterfinals, the four losing teams will be playing for the 5th to 8th place classification, whilst the four winning teams will move on to the semi-finals to determine the winner in a knock-out system.
