Results The tournament was played on a single-elimination format consisting of semifinals, a third-place match, and a final. Because Zambia fielded an alternate team, the matches in which they participated are not considered international “A” matches and therefore do not count toward the FIFA rankings.
Bracket The semifinal matchups were determined by a draw held on March 24.
