The formation of the groups was made by CONMEBOL, in a public drawing of lots that took place on 17 December 1996. Each team plays one match against each of the other teams within the same group. Three points are awarded for a win, one point for a draw and zero points for a defeat. First and second placed teams, in each group, advance to the quarter-finals. The best third placed team and the second best third placed team, also advance to the quarter-finals. Tie-breaker If teams finish leveled on points, the following tie-breakers are used: greater goal difference in all group games; greater number of goals scored in all group games; winner of the head-to-head match between the teams in question; drawing of lots.
