The two highest ranked teams in each group advanced to the knockout stage for the position one to eight, the two lower ranked teams played for the positions nine to 16. Teams were awarded three points for a win and one for a draw. When comparing teams in a group over-all result came before head-to-head.

If the teams were still tied, a penalty shoot-out was held to determine a winner.
