FIFA World League

Format
All 211 FIFA members will play each other home and away. Member associations have been broken up into groups according to their confederations in order to determine fixture rounds.

Tiebreakers
If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following tie-breaking criteria are applied:


 * 1) Higher number of points obtained in the matches played among the teams in question;
 * 2) Superior goal difference in matches played among the teams in question;
 * 3) Higher number of goals scored in the matches played among the teams in question;
 * 4) Higher number of goals scored away from home in the matches played among the teams in question;
 * If, after having applied criteria 1 to 4, teams still have an equal ranking, criteria 1 to 4 are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the teams in question to determine their final rankings. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria 6 to 10 apply;
 * 1) Superior goal difference in all group matches;
 * 2) Higher number of goals scored in all group matches;
 * 3) Higher number of away goals scored in all group matches;
 * 4) Higher number of wins in all group matches;
 * 5) Higher number of away wins in all group matches

Teams tied on equal points in interconfederation sections or confederational intersection matches will be ranked first on overall goal difference in the section and then overall goals scored in the section. If teams are still tied, they will be considered equally ranked within the section.
