Uganda find themselves in the “Group of Death” Pool C along with the reigning world champions Russia, two-time world winners USA, Iran and Andorra. Uganda finished 14th at the 2014 edition in Moscow and will be hoping they can perform better this time round in the Philippines.

The first 4 days of competition will be dedicated to pool play (while the 5th and final day will see the knock-out rounds) and systematically end with a game of the Filipino hosts (women on Day 1 and Day 3, men on Day 2 and Day 4).
Games will start everyday at 11.30 am local time (GMT+8) and end between 7 and 8 pm approximately. The only exception will be the final day, which will stretch from 12.50 pm to 9.30 pm.
