The top two teams in each group will progress to a Round of 16 where single-match knockout ties will be played all the way to the final.

Should we go through as group winner, we will play the runner-up in Group H. If we're runners-up, we will face the Group H winner.

Should the knockout matches be tied, extra time and penalties will be used to decide who advances to the next stage.

There will be no third-place play off played.
