The draw for the groups was held on 20 March 2024, 20:00 CET (UTC+1), at the Pulse building in Saint-Denis, France.[8] The sixteen teams were drawn into four groups of four teams each. The hosts France were automatically seeded into Pot 1 and placed into the first position of Group A, while the remaining teams were seeded into their respective pots based on their results in the last five Men's Olympic Football Tournament (with more recent tournaments weighted more heavily), as follows:[9][10]
AFC-CAF play-off winners, automatically assigned to Pot 4
Notes
1 2 3 As the three teams qualified through the AFC U-23 Asian Cup were to be known only after the draw, placeholders were allocated according to the ranking of the AFC teams in the 2020 Men's Olympic Football Tournament, i.e. the results of Japan, South Korea, and Australia in the previous 5 Men's Olympic Football Tournament were taken into account. The placeholders were named “AFC 1”, “AFC 2” and “AFC 3”.[10]
↑ As the AFC–CAF play-off was to be played after the draw, the placeholder was allocated to Pot 4 and would not be drawn into a group already containing an AFC or CAF team.[10]
The draw started with teams from Pot 1 being drawn first and placed in the first position of their groups (hosts France automatically assigned to A1). Then the teams from Pot 2 were drawn, followed by Pot 3 and Pot 4, with each team also being drawn to one of the positions within their group. No group could contain more than one team from each confederation.[11] The ceremony was hosted by the local presenter Fabien Leveque and conducted by FIFA's Director of Tournaments Jaime Yarza and Chief Women's Football Officer Sarai Bareman, with the former Argentine footballer Javier Saviola and French track and field legend athlete Marie-José Pérec as draw assistants.[12]
The draw resulted in the following groups:[13][14]
1 2 3 4 The identity of these teams was not known at the time of the draw.
Group stage
The competing countries were divided into four groups of four teams, denoted as groups A, B, C and D. Teams in each group played one another in a round-robin basis, with the top two teams of each group advancing to the quarter-finals.
In the knockout stage, if a match was level at the end of normal playing time, extra time was played (two periods of 15 minutes each) and followed, if necessary, by a penalty shoot-out to determine the winner.[6]
As per statistical convention in football, matches decided in extra time are counted as wins and losses, while matches decided by penalty shoot-outs are counted as draws.
