Championship

The first phase of the championship was divided into two rounds, in which the nineteen teams of the championship were divided into four groups;five with five teams and one with four, with each team playing once against all other teams, and the best team of each group passing to the Semifinals. The champions of each round qualified to the Third round, along with the six best teams in the aggregate table. Wins by three goals' difference or more were worth an extra point.
In the Third round, the eight remaining teams would be divided into two groups of four, each team playing once against the teams of its own group and the other group, and the best teams of each group qualifying to the Finals.
