Teams will be battling to join Pool B winners Poland and hosts Bulgaria in the Final, set to take place in Sofia from July 4 to 8, with the three remaining pool winners and the best second-ranked team progressing.
This year the World League has a revised, compact format, running initially from May 18 to July 1.
While the World League still features 16 teams, for the first time in the tournament’s history the Intercontinental Round will be played across four weeks with each country hosting all four teams in their respective pool on one weekend each.
