The draw for the women's competition has seen the 12 teams split into six pairs with the first team drawn from each pairing going into Pool A with the second being automatically placed into Pool B.

Hosts Germany, who have been paired with The Netherlands, will get the choice of which pool they would like to be drawn in.

The other five pairs are the United States and Canada, Brazil and Argentina, Australia and China, Great Britain and France and Algeria and Spain.

The 16 teams in the men’s competition have been divided into four groups of four.

The first group contains United States, Canada, Argentina and Brazil with the second comprising of Morocco, Spain, Poland and Italy.

Group three is made up of Australia, Iran, Japan and South Korea with group four containing Turkey, Great Britain, Germany and The Netherlands.

As the US, Australia, Turkey and Morocco are seeded for the tournament, they will be drawn out first to simply decide which groups they will head.

The next part of the draw will see the remaining teams drawn as normal to complete the four tournament groups.

As with the women’s competition, Germany will be given the chance to choose what group they will compete in.

They will, however, be unable to choose Turkey's group as they are the seeded team in their pot.

The Wheelchair Basketball World Championships is taking place in Germany for the first time at the edel-optics.de Arena in Hamburg with matches set to take place from August 16 to 26.
