Each participating national team had to submit a provisional list of a minimum of 35 and a maximum of 55 players to FIFA by the deadline stipulated by them. The provisional lists were not published by FIFA and player changes were allowed only in exceptional cases. The final list of 21 players per national team had to be submitted to FIFA by the deadline stipulated by them. All players in the final list had to be chosen from the respective provisional list.
