The top two teams in each group and the 8 best third-placed teams will qualify for the round of 16.
If points are equal, the result of the team’s head-to-head match is taken as the primary criterion. The remaining criteria are: goal difference, number of goals scored, least number of official warnings (yellow and red cards), and the team’s current FIFA ranking.
The group stage ends on June 28. The round of 16 is scheduled for June 28-July 4, the round of 8 for July 4-7, the quarter-finals for July 9-12, the semi-finals for July 14-15, and the third place match and final for July 19.
