All teams are put into one group, and will play each other once. The top four then move on to the semi-final – the team that finishes first in the group will take on the one that finishes fourth, and the second team plays the third. Winners of the semi-finals will move to the final

Defending Champions Japan will face a stiff challenge from Korea, the most decorated team in the history of the tournament, which have won three out of six editions of the tournament, in 2010, 2011, and 2016.
