To ensure competitive balance, two separate pathways to the semi-finals have been established in order to have a balanced distribution of the teams.

The highest-ranked team and the second highest-ranked team in the FIFA Men’s World Ranking will be randomly drawn into groups in opposite pathways. The same principle will also apply to the third and fourth highest ranked teams to ensure that the two highest-ranked teams will not meet before the final if they win their groups.
