Round of 16

The Round of 16 will all take place on Wednesday July 16 with all games taking place at the Starez Arena Vodova.

USA v CHN - 14:30 local time

The reigning champions will be expected to blast their way past winless China and avoid an upset. Especially with big hitters like MVP frontrunner Sienna Betts and the record-breaking Jazzy Davidson in great form.

FRA v CZE - 17:30 local time

France must bounce back from their loss to Australia and contest with the passionate home support. Czechia should provide a test, but France will expect ballers with the quality like leader Nell Angloma to take them through.

ISR v POR - 14:30 local time

This all-European matchup looks like it could be one of the closest games in the Round of 16. Both nations rely heavily on superstar ballers in the shape of Israel scoring ace Gal Raviv and the towering Clara Silva of Portugal.

HUN v NGR - 17:00 local time

Hungary have used their size to great effect in collecting a pair of wins so far - led by Kinga Josepovits and Eszter Ratkai. But rookies Nigeria have already shown they can cause a surprise and so it might be a really intense battle.
