The Swiss, the Aussies and wildcard pick Poland will be joined in Spain by nine nations that came through the recent qualifiers: hosts Spain, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Kazakhstan, Slovenia and the United States
The teams will compete in four round-robin groups of three, with the four group winners progressing to the semi-finals.
The draw for the groups takes place on May 24.
Seville will also host the Finals in 2024.
