Interconfederational play-offs
The interconfederational play-offs were contested by eight teams: the best group runner-up from each of the four confederational qualifying rounds and the four next-best runners-up globally, considering only results against teams ranked 1–4 in their group. The eight teams competed over two rounds of one-legged knock-out play-offs, with the winners of the second round advancing to the finals.
Ranking of second-placed teams
The best runners-up were calculated considering the number of games played in the smallest-sized group within each given confederation. The best runner-up in each confederation advanced to the first round.
The four next-best runners-up advanced to the first round. This was calculated considering the number of games played in the smallest group globally; therefore, only results against teams ranked 1–4 in each group were used.
