A draw will be taken after the group stage ends to determine the quarter-final pairs. The winners of the group (3 teams) and the team in second place with the best result (one team) from the group stage are placed in pot (D), while the remaining two teams occupy the second place and the two best teams in third place in another pot (E). Teams from the same group in the group stage cannot meet each other in the quarter-finals.

In order for a team to be crowned Olympic champion, it must play 6 matches: 3 in the group stage and 3 in the final stage (quarter-finals, semi-finals, gold match) instead of 8 matches as in previous tournaments.
