U-12 category uses a half competition system.

Total 16 teams will be divided into 4 groups (A, B, C, and D). Each group consists of 4 teams. If 2 teams based from the same club/academy, the group placements will be separated before the draw is made.

Ranking in groups is determined by the number of points achieved, and it is placed as follows:

• Three (3) points are awarded for winning results.
• One (1) point is awarded for a draw result.
• Zero (0) points are awarded for a losing.

On the final group result, if two (or more) teams have the same number of points, the ranking order will be determined based on the following conditions :

• Head-to-head (results of matches between the team concerned).
• Goal difference (for each team involved).
• Goal productivity (overall).
• Discipline Report Score (yellow card & red card) – where a yellow card is rated -1, a red card is rated -2, an a direct red card is rated -3.

Based on the final group results, the teams ranked 1^st and 2^nd will advance to the knockout round of the Cup category (quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals), while teams ranked 3^rd and 4^th will proceed to the knock-out round of the Plate category (quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals).
