Round and draw dates

[edit]

The schedule was as follows.[1]

Round Draw date First leg Second leg
Quarter-finals 20 February 2025 2 April 2025 9 April 2025
Semi-finals 20 April 2025 27 April 2025
Final 17 May 2025 25 May 2025

Format

[edit]

Each tie in the knockout phase was played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scored more goals on aggregate over the two legs advanced to the next round. If the aggregate score is level, the away goals rule was applied, i.e. the team that scored more goals away from home over the two legs advanced. If away goals were also equal, then extra time was not played and the winners were decided by a penalty shoot-out (Regulations III. 26 & 27).

The mechanism of the draws for each round was as follows:

  • In the draw for the quarter-finals, the four group winners were seeded, and the four group runners-up were unseeded. The seeded teams were drawn against the unseeded teams, with the seeded teams hosting the second leg. Teams from the same group could not be drawn against each other, while teams from the same association could be drawn against each other.
  • In the draws for the semi-finals, there were no seedings, and teams from the same group or the same association could be drawn against each other. As the draws for the quarter-finals and semi-finals were held together before the quarter-finals were played, the identity of the quarter-final winners was not known at the time of the semi-final draw.

Qualified teams

[edit]

The knockout stage involved the 8 teams qualifying as winners and runners-up of each of the eight groups in the group stage.
