The FIFA World Cup tournament consists of 32 teams, several from each confederation around the world. These 32 teams are divided into eight groups, labeled A through H. Each team plays each other team in their group, with the best two teams in each group (based on points earned from wins and draws, with ties broken by a series of criteria) advancing to the elimination round.

The sixteen teams into the Round of 16 are placed into a single-elimination bracket, where the winner advances and the loser goes home. The winners of these matches advance to the quarter-final, and so on until there is only one team left. The losers of the semi-final match will compete for third place.
