In the Algarve Cup, there is no elimination. Instead, teams are ranked in new groups for 1st placed teams, 2nd placed teams, and 3rd placed teams based on their group stage performance. This is done to decide the fixtures of placement matches.
- In the 1st placed teams' table, the top two qualify for the final whilst the last two settle for the third-place match.
- In the 2nd placed teams' table, the top two must contest the fifth-place match whilst the bottom two get to play in the seventh-placed match.
- And finally, in the 3rd placed teams' table, the top two fight for the ninth-placed match whilst the bottom two must find consolation in the eleventh-placed match.
