How Group D works
Three matches · Six fixtures
Each team plays the other three exactly once — six total group-stage fixtures. Three points for a win, one for a draw, none for a defeat. Ties resolved on goal difference, then goals scored, then head-to-head record, then fair-play points.
- 1st place
- Direct to Round of 32 as a top seed. Reseeded path avoids other group winners until the quarter-finals where possible.
- 2nd place
- Direct to Round of 32. Likely to face a group winner from a paired group in the first knockout tie.
- 3rd place
- Still alive. The eight best third-placed sides from the twelve groups progress to the R32. Ranked on points first, then goal difference and goals scored.
- 4th place
- Eliminated. Tournament ends after the third matchday for the group's bottom side.
