The tournament is composed by 24 teams. There are 6 groups with 4 teams each of them.

(Victory: 3 Points/Draw game: 1 point/Lost game: 0 points)

If two teams get the same amount of points during the group stage the goal difference will determine what team did better. If the goal difference is identical then the team with more goals scored will be first. If the number of goals scored is the same then the winner will be chosen by lot. 

Group A — Myanmar, New Zealand (hosts), Ukraine, United States

Group B — Argentina, Austria, Ghana, Panama

Group C — Colombia, Portugal, Qatar, Senegal

Group D — Mali, Mexico, Serbia, Uruguay

Group E — Brazil, Hungary, Nigeria, North Korea

Group F — Fiji, Germany, Honduras, Uzbekistan

The two first teams from each group will advance to the knockout stage. And the four best third teams will advance two. The last team from every group and the worst two third teams will be eliminated.

During the knockout stage's games the team which scores more goals during the game will advance. If both teams score the same amount of goals then there will be an extra time (2 parts of 15 minutes each). If after the extra time the score keeps tied then a penalty shoot-out will determine the winner of the game.
