FIFA U-17 World Cup (Men) Tournament Structure<\/b><\/h2>\n

It is important that before we go into the details of what the competition looks like we should clarify how the overall structure of the tournament is so that fans and teams can understand how the participation works and how they can advance to the finals <\/span>c\u01b0\u1ee3c e-sport<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Number of teams and group stage<\/b><\/h3>\n

In the FIFA U-17 World Cup men’s there are 24 countries that participate from the six continents of the football federations.<\/span><\/p>\n

These 24 teams are divided into six groups so that they are four teams in each group.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Every team plays against another within the group and the accumulate points when the win they get three points, when they draw they get 1 points and they are no points for losses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The top three teams get to move to the next stage of the competition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ranking criteria and selection of teams to advance.<\/b><\/h3>\n

If you’re going to move from the group stage to the knockout stage, there are some criteria that are required to rank high and advance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The first one is the total points that you have accumulated. It is only the team that has the most points that are ranked higher.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When the points are shared between two teams, the goal difference is going to be used to decide who wins in that group.<\/span><\/p>\n

The number of goals that a teams cause is also used to determine if they would proceed to the next stage of the competition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another consideration is the head-to-head results as if the match is still tied then the results from when both teams played is going to be used to decide who progressive to the next stage.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you winner is not still decided after all of these, FIFA can then decide to use a draw to select the winner.<\/span><\/p>\n

Knockout format and final match<\/b><\/h2>\n

After a team successfully moves from the group stage, they get into the knockout stages of the competition and we have discussed how all of that unfolds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

FIFA U-17 World Cup (Men’s) Knockout Round<\/b><\/h3>\n

They are four parts of the knockout stages of the competition and they include:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

  2. Quarter finals\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Semi-finals\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Finals\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    All of the themes that make it to the knockout stages will play once against their opponent in in 90 minutes of regular time game and if there is no winner after 19 minutes they go into extra time for 30 minutes. If the game is not still decided after extra time, then a penalty shootout is played to decide who progresses to the next stage or if it is the final who wins.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    After the two semi-final matches, the teams that do not qualify to play in the final get to play a third place match which decides will comes third.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
