Format
For the group stage, the 28 teams were drawn into two groups of fourteen teams each, playing on a single round-robin basis. Additionally, each team will play one interzonal match against its rival team in the other zone. In each group, the top four teams will advance to the quarter-finals. The final stages (quarter-finals, semi-finals and final) will be played on a single-legged basis.[4]
Draw
The draw for the group stage was held on 3 November 2022, 13:00, at AFA Futsal Stadium in Ezeiza.[5] The 28 teams were drawn into two groups of fourteen containing one team from each of the interzonal matches. As the draw was held before the identity of the second promoted team was known, the interzonal rivals of Godoy Cruz and Barracas Central were called Alternativa 1 and Alternativa 2, respectively. They were:
- Alternativa 1: a team between Gimnasia y Esgrima (M), Instituto and Sarmiento (J)
- Alternativa 2: a team between Defensores de Belgrano, Estudiantes (BA) and Sarmiento (J)
