Tie-breaking criteria

In world football, there are various methods used to separate teams with equal points in a league. For the World Cup tournament, FIFA uses the following system.^[33]

The ranking in each group is determined as follows:

1. greatest number of points obtained in all group matches;


2. goal difference in all group matches;


3. greatest number of goals scored in all group matches.

If two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria, their rankings will be determined as follows:

4. greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;


5. goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned;


6. greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams concerned;


7. drawing of lots by the FIFA Organising Committee or play-off depending on time schedule.
