Discipline

Canada were deducted 6 points by FIFA for their coaching staff's involvement in the Canada Soccer drone spying scandal. [5] The decision was upheld by the Court of Arbitration for Sport on 31 July. [6]

Fair play points would have been used as a tiebreaker if the overall and head-to-head records of teams were tied. These were calculated based on yellow and red cards received in all group matches as follows:

Only one of the above deductions could be applied to a player in a single match.
