The World Cup field will go from 32 teams to eight through two group phases.
The first group stage determines which 16 nations will be eligible to qualify for the quarterfinals and which sides will fight for 17th-32nd place.
Every team in a group plays each other in the first round. Nations play two games in the second round against sides from the other group. For example, the United States would play the two Group D qualifiers for Group J in the second round and they would not face the other advancing team from Group C again.
The quarterfinals are scheduled to take place on September 5 and 6. Each quarterfinalist is guaranteed three extra games because the tournament plays games to determine the finishing order from first to eighth.
The semifinal matchups are scheduled for September 8 and the final takes place September 10 in Pasay.
