• The last 16 of previous season's Cup qualified for the 2nd round.

Knockout phase

In the knockout phase, teams play against each other over a single match. If the match ends up as a draw, extra time will be played. If a winner doesn't occur after the extra time the winner emerges by a flip of a coin.
The mechanism of the draws for each round is as follows:

• In the draw for the round of 32, the teams that had qualified to previous' season Round of 16 are seeded and the clubs that passed the qualification round are unseeded.
• In the draws for the round of 16 onwards, there are no seedings, and teams from the same group can be drawn against each other.
