Players born on or after 1 January 1998 are eligible to compete in the tournament. Each team could register a maximum of 22 players (three of whom must be goalkeepers).[5]

Match officials

[edit]

A total of 10 referees, 20 assistant referees, and two support referees were selected for the tournament.[6]
