Held every four years, the World Cup is an important part of the Aussie Stingers #TowardsTokyo campaign with eight teams going head to head. Placed in Group A, they will need to ensure they are on their game when they take on home side Russia, as well as powerhouses China and Spain.

Coming off training camps with the China, Spain and the US in recent months, the Stingers will be familiar with their opponents, but will need to be prepared for tough competition that all teams will be bringing to the pool.

In Group B, the Stingers will need to look out for long time rivals and reigning World Cup champions Team USA. The Stingers had a tough training camp with the US ahead of the World Cup so will be looking to build on that in Russia.
