The draw for the competition took place on 8 March 2004 at the Lima Art Museum in Lima.[2] The teams were divided into three groups of four teams each. For logistical reasons the three teams from Pots 1 & 4 were manually assigned to their groups ahead of the draw.[3]
Each team plays one match against each of the other teams within the same group. Three points are awarded for a win, one point for a draw and zero points for a defeat.
First and second placed teams, in each group, advance to the quarter-finals. The best third placed team and the second best third placed team, also advance to the quarter-finals.
