A maximum of three foreign players are allowed to be part of the squad.^[6] This was later increased to four, however a maximum of three of these players are permitted to play in a match.^[9]

Draw

The draw for the group stage took place on May 9 at 12:00 local time in Nazaré, Portugal at the Biblioteca Municipal de Nazaré (Nazaré Public Library),^[10] conducted by the Mayor of Nazaré, Walter Chicharro, PFP Director Pedro Dias, BSWW Deputy Vice-President, Gabino Renales and BSWW Head of Competitions, Josep Ponset.^[11]

The BSWW organising committee decided to split the 20 teams into five groups of four, conducting the draw as follows:^[12]

Draw procedure

The clubs were seeded. From every country represented, each club that finished highest in its country's national league were grouped together and ordered based upon the final ranking of the club that represented their national association in the previous edition of the championship. The exception to this was Sporting CP who, as the host club, were automatically given the number 1 seed and assigned to position A1. The top four clubs in this order received the next top seeds and were automatically assigned to the groups, with the 2nd seed placed in position B1 through to the 5th seed allocated to E1. Out of the remaining 15 clubs, again, from each country still represented, each club that finished highest in its country's national league were grouped together and ordered based upon the 2017 final ranking once more. These clubs in this order received the next top seeds available. For the countries still represented by one or more clubs, this process repeated until every club was seeded. The 15 teams were split into three pots, with the highest seeds placed into Pot 1 down to the lowest seeds placed in Pot 3 (along with one unseeded club, Nõmme Kalju, as there was no representative club of their association in the last edition to calculate a seed from). Each pot consisted of five teams. One team from each pot was drawn into each of the groups, A through E, chronologically. The teams from Pot 1 were assigned to position 2, those from Pot 2, assigned to position 3 and those from Pot 3, position 4. Teams from the same association could not be drawn into the same group.
