THE QUARTER-FINAL DRAW PROCEDURE

Step 1: A ball will be picked from the runners-up pot (Pot 1) and the team drawn shown.

Step 2: One ball will be picked from each of the other pots (Pots 2, 3, 4 & 5), except the Pot that has the team that played in the same group of the runner-up team drawn in step 1 (to avoid having two teams from the same group playing each other).

Step 3: The selected balls in Step 2 are put in the empty pot (Pot 6).

Step 4: One ball will be selected to determine the team who will face the runner up drawn in Step 1 for Quarterfinal 1 (QF1).

Step 5: The same process will be repeated three more times in order to determine the remaining fixtures for Quarterfinal 2 (QF2), Quarterfinal 3 (QF3) and Quarterfinal 4 (QF4), while eliminating the pot of the ball drawn in Step 4.
