Every match is 2 × 20 minutes with a 5-minute half-time (45 minutes on the clock), followed by a 10-minute break before the next match. The 10-minute gaps also cover confirming the group standings and possible penalties.

Proposed: drawn knockout matches go straight to penalties, with no extra time. Later kick-offs may shift if penalties overrun.
