Group games will consist of two twenty-minute halves. In the event of a draw at full time, 5 minutes each way extra time shall be played on a “golden goal” basis, i.e., the match will conclude when the first goal is scored in extra time. Game times are not to be shortened; if early games go to extra time, then later games may start late.
If there are no goals in extra time, a penalty shootout will be held, as per FIFA rules. Each team will nominate 9 players from their team sheet to take part in the penalty shootout.
