The field will have 10 players from the CEB, 5 from the CPB, 6 from ACBC and 1 from AMECC.
There will be a qualifying round with eight groups of three players, matches to 25 points. Two players from each group will qualify. Then there will be K.O. rounds with 16, 8, 4 and 2 players, in matches to 30 without equalizing inning.
This is the field:
Group A: Therese Klompenhouwer, Diana Giron, Irena Michalkova
Group B: Johana Sandoval, Carolina Matiz, Chae Won Heo
Group C: Thi Lien Nguyen, Guzin Mujde Karakasli, Claudia Patricia Cifuentes
Group D: Jaime Buelens, Nana Petersen, Thi Bich Tram Nguyen

Group F: Litsa Mavridoglou, Magali Declunder, Monika Steinberger
Group G: Karina Jetten, Claudia Lalinde, Yeimi Mancipe
Group H: Ayaka Miyashita, Joyce Eskandar, Da Young Choi
The Dutch six-time world champion will obviously be the favorite. It will be interesting to see what the not-so well-known ladies from Korea and Vietnam can bring. The 2023 world champion Charlotte Sörensen from Denmark is not in the field, so her replacement Nana Petersen has – figuratively – big shoes to fill. Karina Jetten must always be considered a dangerous outsider, and we are intrigued to see the name of Magali Declunder on the list, with her legendary track record in the classic disciplines.
All matches can be watched op Soop.
