The competition was a single elimination knockout tournament featuring two-legged ties, with a Tie-Break (play-off) if the sides were tied on points (however, if the tie-break was a draw, the aggregate score of the first two legs was used to determine the winner).
20 State Champions qualified for the tournament including, for the first time, the champions of the Federal Distrito and Goiás.
