The tournament which is in its 2nd edition after
the inaugural leg last year will see 32 teams battle it out for a the Road to

The group games will be played in a round-robin format with

the knockout stage with respective winners moving to the quarters, semis and
finals which will be played on Sunday.
Every team will have seven players, 5 active and 2 reserves,
