Twelve national teams took part in the tournament. The eight teams with the highest ratings formed groups A and B, the four weaker teams formed group C. First, the teams in their group played each against each other for the placement. First the best score, then the direct comparison and only then the goal difference is decisive for the placement. Then proceed as follows:

Game for 11th place: The fourth-placed team in group C against the worse fourth-placed team in groups A or B.
Game for 9th place: The third-placed team in group C against the better fourth-placed team in groups A or B.
Game for 7th place: The second-placed team in group C against the worse third-placed team in groups A and B.
Match for 5th place: Winner of Group C against the better third-placed team in Groups A and B.
Match for 3rd place: The teams placed second in groups A and B.
Final game: The winners of groups A and B play for the tournament victory.

If it was a draw after the regular playing time of the placement games, there was no extra time , but a penalty shoot-out immediately afterwards .

As FIFA classified the games as "friendly", each team was allowed to make six substitutions per game.
