Defending champions France cancelled their participation just after the UEFA Euro 2013 draw, because of too many European opponents in the tournament.[2] The tournament was won by England.[3]

Format

edit

The twelve invited teams are split into three groups that played a round-robin tournament.

Groups A and B, containing the strongest ranked teams, are the only ones in contention to win the title. The group winners from A and B contested the final, with the runners-up playing for third place. The Group C winner faced the better third place team from Groups A and B for fifth, with the Group C runner-up facing the other third place team for seventh. Group C's third place team faced the better fourth place team of Groups A and B, while the other two fourth place teams play in the 11th place match.

Points awarded in the group stage followed the standard formula of three points for a win, one point for a draw and zero points for a loss. In the case of two teams being tied on the same number of points in a group, their head-to-head result determined the higher place.
