The tournament will consist of eight four-team groups, with the top two teams from each group advancing to a Round of 16, with single-elimination games going through the final.

It has not yet been revealed exactly how the draw will be structured. For the Men’s World Cup, the teams are placed into four pots based on their world ranking and one team from each pot goes in each group.

As of now, all but one of the 32 spots has been filled, with the only outstanding spot going to the winner of Copa Libertadores.
