Player eligibility[]

Players born on or after 1 January 2004 were eligible to compete in the tournament.[5]

Format[]

In each group, teams played each other once at a centralised venue. The eleven group winners and the four best runners-up qualified for the final tournament. If the final tournament hosts (Bahrain) won their group or were among the four best runners-up, the fifth best runner-up would have also qualified for the final tournament.[3]

Tiebreakers[]

Teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss), and if tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria were applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings (Regulations Article 9.3):[5]

  1. Points in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
  2. Goal difference in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
  3. Goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
  4. If more than two teams are tied, and after applying all head-to-head criteria above, a subset of teams are still tied, all head-to-head criteria above are reapplied exclusively to this subset of teams;
  5. Goal difference in all group matches;
  6. Goals scored in all group matches;
  7. Penalty shoot-out if only two teams are tied and they met in the last round of the group;
  8. Disciplinary points (yellow card = 1 point, red card as a result of two yellow cards = 3 points, direct red card = 3 points, yellow card followed by direct red card = 4 points);
  9. Drawing of lots.

Schedule[]
