AFCON 2022 group tiebreakers
If two teams finish even on points in the group stage the following tiebreakers are applied to determine their ranking, according to the official competition rules:
- Most points obtained in matches between the two teams;
- Goal difference in all group matches;
- Most goals scored in all group matches;
- Drawing of lots (i.e. random draw).
If three or more teams finished tied on points at the end of the group stage, the tiebreaker formula changes slightly:
- Most points obtained in matches between the teams concerned;
- Goal difference in matches between the teams concerned;
- Most goals scored in matches between the teams concerned;
- Goal difference in all group matches;
- Most goals scored in all group matches;
- Drawing of lots (i.e. random draw).
One twist to the scenario involving three or more teams: If tiebreakers Nos. 1-3 succeed in separating at least one team from the rest, then those same tiebreakers Nos. 1-3 are reapplied to the remaining teams before moving on to criteria Nos. 4-6.
