| After indentifying the group of Foolad Hormozgan, Shahrdari Bandar Abbas will be placed in the other group automatically.

For the provinces which have three or more teams (Tehran, Mazandaran and Hormozgan), a protection rule was applied. So from three teams of Hormozgan, two teams should be placed in one group and the third team can not be placed in the same group.
Due to licence transfers of teams, the new location of each team (after confirmation) is considered in the draw.
