At its conclusion, the best teams progressed to the knockout stage, a series of single elimination games to determine the winners, starting with the Round of 16 and ending with the final. Consolation matches were also played to determine other final rankings.

Higicontrol Melilla of Spain were the defending champions[9] and successfully retained the title,[10] becoming the first club to win consecutive titles.
