How the third-place race works

Each group's 3rd-placed team is compared across all 12 groups, ranked by: points, then goal difference, then goals scored, then fair-play (fewest cards), then FIFA ranking. The top 8 advance to the Round of 32; the bottom 4 are eliminated.

The 8 qualifiers fill 8 fixed Round-of-32 slots via FIFA's official Annex C table — which slot each lands in depends on the exact combination of groups the 8 come from, not on their rank.
