Thirty-two teams were divided into eight groups by drawing lots, and each group had four teams to compete. Each team has to play with the other three teams, and only played one game. Four teams in each group play six games in round robin mode, and each game lasts 90 minutes. The winning, flat and negative scores are 3, 1 and 0 respectively. The top two teams in each group advanced to the knockout 1/8 finals, and the *** 16 team was "top 16".
The team that scored more goals within 90 minutes of the knockout wins. If the two sides can't decide the outcome within 90 minutes, the overtime will be played 15 minutes in the first half and the second half respectively. In the overtime stage, if the two teams are still tied, it will be decided by the penalty of the players from both sides. In principle, the penalty kick is that each side kicks five balls. If it is still a draw, both sides will play a ball and the winner will win. If there is still no tie, continue to punish the penalty, and both sides will kick another ball until the tie is broken!
