- superior goal difference after all the group matches;
- higher number of goals scored in all the group matches;
- lower disciplinary sanctions (yellow card = 1 point, expulsion = 3 points);
- drawing of lots.

At the second stage, play-off matches will be played in order to determine the whole rating.
The runner-ups and the winners of the groups will compete in the quarterfinals for the positions 1-8.
The teams taking the 3rd and 4th positions in the group, will compete for the positions 9-16.
