The top two placed teams from each of the three groups, along with the two best-placed third teams, qualified for the knockout stage.[1]
The gold medal match was originally scheduled to be held on 6 August 2021, 11:00, at National Stadium, Tokyo. Both teams requested a later kick-off time due to concerns about excessive heat; as the National Stadium was already booked for athletics events in the evening, the game was moved to 21:00 on the same day at the International Stadium Yokohama in Yokohama.[13][14][15]
