Ten draws were held across the sports of basketball, football, rugby sevens, volleyball and water polo with men’s and women’s tournaments set to be held in each of the five.

Teams were divided into four pools for tournaments with 12 teams or more, including those in basketball, football and volleyball.

For rugby sevens and water polo, there were two pools.

The teams were first divided into tiers based on previous Universiade results, International University Sports Federation (FISU) rankings and the ranking of the International Federation governing the sport.

Teams drawn by tiers were then allocated to different pools, to ensure fair distribution.

Making the women’s basketball draw was former Italian international Liliana Mabel Bocchi, who, as well as making more than 120 appearances for the senior national team, won eight national championships during her career.

She is a member of the International Basketball Federation Hall of Fame,

Pool A is made up of Ukraine, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Japan, while Pool B comprises Portugal, Romania, Russia and Argentina.

The United States have been drawn into Pool C alongside Chinese Taipei, Slovakia and Mexico with China, Finland, Australia and Canada allocated to Pool D.

The men’s basketball draw, made by Italian Basketball Federation President Manfredo Fucile, saw the Czech Republic, Israel, Australia and Mexico drawn into Pool A.

Pool B features Latvia, Croatia, Russia and Argentina, while Pool C pits China against Finland, the United States and Ukraine.

On hand to do the women’s football draw was Chievo Verona Valpo forward Valeria Pirone, a former Italian international with more than 200 appearances to her name for Napoli.

Pool A contains North Korea, Canada and South Africa, while Pool B comprises Mexico, Russia and China.

Ireland are in Pool C alongside Brazil and South Korea, while Italy, Japan and the US slot into Pool D.

The men’s football draw, made by Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret – an Italy under-21 international – saw South Korea, Uruguay and Ireland drawn into Pool A.

Pool B features Italy, Mexico and Ukraine, while Pool C pits France against South Africa and Brazil.

Argentina, Russia and Japan make up Pool D.

Presiding over the men’s volleyball draw was Giacomo Giretto, an ex-Italian international who was part of the World Championship-winning squad in 1994.

There was a request from the Organising Committee to open four additional slots in the draw so Italy could participate and, after some deliberation, the FISU leadership agreed to this.

It means this is the only event with 20 teams.

Pool A sees Hong Kong take on Chile, Chinese Taipei, Ukraine and the Czech Republic, while Pool B comprises China, the US, Russia, Portugal and South Korea.
