Format

The four teams in each group played each other on a round-robin basis at two centralised venues in Tahiti.[1] The winners and runners-up of each group advanced to the semi-finals of the knockout stage.

Schedule

Originally, each group was scheduled to host their matchdays on the same day, however flight cancellations for Ifira Black Bird meant the schedule was changed twice to accommodate all their matches.[2][6] The final schedule for each matchday is shown below:[7]
