In Pool A, Montenegro have top billing and with good reason as they boast scoring machine Milos Jovanovic, who was part of Hangzhou&039;s (CHN) semi-final run at the recent Chengdu Masters.
Montenegro start as favorite in Pool A but will face tough opposition against Africa Cup runners-up Rwanda and Asia Cup 2024 runners-up Iran.
Pool B is also mighty competitive with No.2 seed Canada set to be locked in major battles against Great Britain and hosts Azerbaijan, who will be fired up from the support of their passionate fans in the bleachers.
Roster: Olivier Turatsinze, Chandelier Cyiza, Hubert Sage Kwizera and Cadeau de Dieu Furaha.
