The teams are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If tied on points, tiebreakers are applied in the following order:[5]
- Goal difference in all the group matches;
- Greater number of goals scored in all the group matches;
- If, after applying criteria 1 and 2, teams still have an equal ranking, criteria 1 and 2 are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the teams in question to determine their final rankings. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria 4 to 8 apply;
- Penalty shoot-out if only two teams are involved and they are both on the field of play;
- Fewest red cards
- Fewest yellow cards
- Team who belongs to the member association with the higher AFC ranking.
- Drawing of lots, coin toss or play-off match as determined by the Executive Committee
