The knockout stage of the 1982 FIFA World Cup was the final stage of the final tournament, following the second round group stage. It consisted of two semi-final matches, a match for third place played between the two losing teams of the semi-finals, and the final to determine the winners of the competition. Four teams qualified themselves for this final stage by winning the four second round groups: Poland (winners of Group A), West Germany (Group B), Italy, (Group C) and France (Group D).
In the knockout stage, if a match was level at the end of 90 minutes, extra time of two periods (15 minutes each) would be played. In all matches except the final, if the score was still level after extra time, the match would be decided by a penalty shoot-out. Should the final be level after extra time, the match would instead be replayed.
Qualified teams The top placed team from each of the four groups of the second round qualified for the knockout stage.
