How qualification works
The 24 teams are drawn into six pools of four. Each team plays three pool matches. The top two from every pool and the four best third-placed sides advance to the Round of 16. Knockout stages continue through the quarter-finals, semi-finals, bronze final and final. There are 52 matches in total.
Knockout stages
Round of 16: 8 matches · Quarter-finals: 4 · Semi-finals: 2 · Bronze final: 1 · Final: 1. Match participants depend on pool rankings and later knockout results, so they are not shown as confirmed pairings.
