The teams finishing in the top two positions in each of the four groups progressed to the knockout stage, while the third-placed team was eliminated from the tournament. ;Tie-breaking If two or more teams were equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following tie-breaking criteria were applied: # Higher number of points obtained in the matches played between the teams in question; # Superior goal difference resulting from the matches played between the teams in question; # Higher number of goals scored in the matches played between the teams in question. If, after having applied criteria 1–3, teams still have an equal ranking, criteria 1–3 are reapplied to determine their final ranking.

Knockout stage

The knockout stage matches, which includes quarter-finals, semi-finals, third place play-off and the final, will be played at the Sportpaleis arena. If a match is drawn after 40 minutes of regular play, an extra-time consisting of two five-minute periods is played. If teams are still leveled after extra-time, a penalty shoot-out is used to determine the winner. In the third place match, the extra-time is skipped and the decision goes directly to kicks from the penalty mark.
