How the Group Stage Works

The 32 qualified teams are drawn into 8 groups of 4 teams. Each team plays the other three teams in their group once, resulting in 3 matches per team and 6 matches per group.

Teams earn 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw, and 0 for a loss. The top 2 teams from each group (16 total) advance to the Round of 16.

Tiebreakers are determined by: goal difference, goals scored, head-to-head results, and if still tied, fair play points or drawing of lots.
