Matches consisted of two thirty-minute halves, with a fifteen-minute half-time break. The Championships was a qualifying event for the 2015 IFCPF CP Football World Championships.
The group stage was a competition between the 6 teams divided among two groups of three, where each group engaged in a round-robin tournament within itself.
